Caffè Alunni ESPRESSO LUIGINA

LUIGINA Caffè Alunni

1000g bag of whole beans

80% Arabica - 20% Robusta

This excellent blend was dedicated to Luigina, Alessia Alunni's mother.

This blend is composed of 8 varieties, all from fine quality plantations. The countries of origin are Brazil, Kenya, Nepal, Peru, Puerto Rico and Santo Domingo. Also supplemented by robusta beans from India (India Kaapi Royale) and Cuba. Kaapi Royale is grown in western India, in the Baba Budan mountains in the Karnataka region. The high altitude and nutrient-rich soil produce high quality robusta beans, ensuring a fantastic cream and a lovely, deep brown in the cup. Caffè Alunni sources its green coffees directly from the coffee plantations.

A real coffee like at the bar in Italy. This blend is perfect for the discerning espresso drinker.

The full-bodied Luigina forms a perfect alliance with milk. Despite its pronounced taste profile, it gently caresses the palate. Full-bodied and intense coffee with lingering aftertaste. Discover aromas of roasted nuts, toast and pastries. These dark notes are balanced by fresh, bright nuances of stone fruit and flowers. In addition, this blend is virtually acid-free thanks to the long and complex roasting process.

The award for "Best Tasting Espresso" at the International Espresso Championships speaks for itself. This fine award is based on the olfactory evaluations of the judges of the IIAC (International Institute of Coffee Tasters), which has more than 12,000 experts in over 40 countries.
