- A BLEND OF EXPERIENCES
The Portuguese drink coffee as a pleasure but also as an excuse to meet friends and “talk a bit”.
The Portuguese usually drink espresso, mostly out of home. Espresso is so important to us that we also spell it as a Portuguese word: “EXPRESSO” instead of ESPRESSO!
- A BLEND OF SENSES
The Portuguese espresso is generally obtained from a blend of Arabica and Robusta coffee beans in a slow roast process. The result is a hazelnut-colored cream, dense and a well-balanced coffee and a sensory experience that tends to linger in the mouth and thus creates a powerful consumer memory. It is characterized by an enormous aromatic complexity, by a gentle acidity, for a remarkable balance of flavors and a pleasant and persistent aftertaste.
For the Portuguese, coffee is more then a drink, is an emotional moment to share. And we want to share these moments with the rest of the world.
