Novanta – Our Favourite Espresso for Every Day
Italian roasting craftsmanship. Velvety sweetness. Exceptional balance.
Novanta – Italian for “ninety” – is our very own espresso blend, created for everyday enjoyment. A harmonious composition that demonstrates just how much character, depth and aromatic complexity a perfectly balanced blend can offer.
Together with our exclusive partner and premium roaster La Genovese, we have created an espresso that combines 90% carefully selected Arabica beans with 10% high-quality Robusta. The Arabica beans provide layered sweetness and aromatic complexity, while the Robusta adds extra depth, body and an especially dense, rich crema.
An espresso that enhances both special moments of indulgence and everyday coffee rituals – approachable, full of character and wonderfully balanced. From the very first sip, Novanta delights with its creamy texture and pleasant sweetness. Notes of cocoa and warm spices meet delicate fruity nuances, followed by a long-lasting, harmonious finish.
Slow roasted, classically Italian and particularly low in acidity.
Tasting Profile
The first impression reveals creamy milk chocolate, hazelnut and caramel. Behind these, delicate notes of brown sugar and ripe blackberry emerge, adding an extra fruity dimension to the espresso.
The body is creamy, velvety and pleasantly full. Its pronounced sweetness is accompanied by remarkably low acidity. A subtle bitterness adds structure without overpowering the harmonious flavour profile.
As an espresso, Novanta is smooth, rich and well-balanced. Its velvety texture, natural sweetness and low acidity create an exceptionally harmonious taste experience. When combined with milk, the chocolate, hazelnut and caramel notes also come beautifully to the fore. Its dense crema and long-lasting aftertaste make it a versatile delight, equally enjoyable as a classic espresso or a creamy cappuccino.
Coffee Varieties
Each coffee variety is gently roasted separately. Only afterwards are the individual roasts combined to create a harmoniously balanced blend.

Honduras SHG (washed)
Tropical sweetness with a hint of freshness. Contributes additional aromatic complexity.
India Parchment (washed)
Powerful intensity with a silky character. Gives the blend depth and a full-bodied profile.
10% high-quality Robusta adds extra strength, a fuller body and an especially rich, stable crema.

Why “Novanta”?
Novanta is the Italian word for ninety and refers to the 90% Arabica that forms the heart of this composition. Combined with 10% high-quality Robusta, it creates an espresso that brings together the elegance of Arabica with the strength and crema of Robusta.
Why 90% Arabica and 10% Robusta?
Because both coffee varieties have their own unique strengths. Arabica provides aromatic complexity, delicate sweetness and elegance. Robusta complements these qualities with greater body, depth and an especially dense crema. The result is a harmonious espresso with plenty of character.
What Makes Novanta So Exceptionally Balanced?
Alongside the careful selection of the coffees, the slow roasting process plays a crucial role. It supports the development of the beans' natural sweetness and creates an especially rounded, balanced flavour profile with remarkably low acidity
