This half Arabica and half Robusta beans coffee blend is carefully processed using washed methods to bring out its unique flavor profile.

Cupping Notes
Colipse Italian Roast Blend offers a smoky and woody aroma, with an ultra-bold flavor profile featuring hints of dark chocolate, caramel, and red berries. The aftertaste is smooth and lingering, dominated by rich dark chocolate and a touch of sweetness. The low acidity complements the blend's deeper, bolder flavors. While the origin characteristics are subtle, the bold and smoky tones shine through in espresso-based milk drinks like lattes, cappuccinos, and flat whites. The mouthfeel is full-bodied and creamy, with a smooth, rich texture.
