Wow, this is an experience of a coffee.
This is a very dark roast, the smell is intoxicating, deep spices, cinnamon, clove, allspice, some cocoa and right at the back, a little woodsmoke.
You expect a sharp aggressive flavour, but no, this is smooth, not much acidity, silky mouthfeel from the oils. It's a deep deep flavour, everything you smell is there on the pallet apart from the woodsmoke. Intense dark spices, high cocoa chocolate, raisins, a long sweet aftertaste.
High roasts usually loose some caffeine but no, this packs a punch on that front too.
This is a superb coffee, if you like it very dark and very bold then this is for you.
Excellent service whether purchasing in store or online and the very best range of coffees available that I know.
My new favourite coffee. Delicious in the morning either breakfast.
An Italian visitor liked this even more than the Torino blend. Agreed with him on this, much as I enjoy the Torino. Works so well in Bialetti pot and makes a *brilliant* affogato. Rich taste, and not a hint of bitterness. A favourite, I now buy it every time I see it appear on the site.
So glad it's back. Strong, dark and smooth.
