Italian Roast
-
Tasting Notes:
Deep, bold, and unapologetically intense. Expect robust notes of dark chocolate, molasses, and smoky cedar, with hints of toasted walnut and a whisper of spice in the finish. A classic European-style roast that delivers a powerful, full-bodied experience. -
Roast Level:
Dark roast — taken just past the second crack for a rich, oil-slicked bean that maximizes depth and body while reducing acidity. Signature of traditional Italian-style espresso. -
Body:
Heavy and velvety. This roast offers a thick, syrupy mouthfeel that clings to the palate and pairs beautifully with cream or milk — though bold enough to stand on its own. -
Acidity:
Low acidity, thanks to the darker roast level. Smooth and mellow with none of the sharp tang of lighter roasts — making it ideal for those who prefer a bolder, less acidic cup. -
Aroma:
Inviting and intense, with rich fragrances of burnt caramel, roasted nuts, and a touch of earthy spice. The smell alone says, “You’re about to get things done.” -
Finish:
Lingering and smoky, with a bittersweet edge that fades into subtle spice and cocoa. It’s a finish that stays with you — like any good Italian conversation.
