Classico

Classico

Our darkest roast espresso blend. We combine Brazilian, from the Minas Gerais region, and Honduran Strictly High Grown arabica, from the Capucas area of Honduras – two mainstays of the coffee growing industry – with a touch of hearty Indian Robusta. These coffees are especially flavoursome because of their high altitude growing regions; coffee grown in a mountainous terrain and at a lower temperature produces a slower maturing fruit and a denser bean, packed with more flavour. Full-city style roast, Classico espresso produces a distinctively dark brew, rich and aromatic with a pleasantly snappy bite.

We bought this as an alternative to the Espresso blend at Waitrose. It has a more complex flavour and is slightly less powerful than our supermarket one - and it is for me, a more satisfying taste.
