Origin - Brazil and Ethiopia
Process - Natural
Altitude - 800 - 1200m
Varietal - 100% Arabica & Robusta
This is our take on an old-school Italian-style blend, taking inspiration from the 1980s and 1990s. A hearty blend of Brazilian and Ethiopian arabicas, with Indian robusta to give it some serious kick and an incredibly forgiving crema. This is truly not a speciality coffee, but is perfect for someone chasing the classic taste that only an old Italian-style blend can provide.
