PINAR DEL RIO - ARABICA / ROBUSTA COFFEE - INTENSITY 11 - CAFE COPIUM ®
Pinar Del Río region, on the west side of Cuba, where the locals are called Pinareños. One of the last major cities founded by the Spanish in 1867. Known as "the Mecca of tobacco", coffee plantations and farms for its rich soil. Producing both the Arabica and Robusta beans. This blend is rich and creamy, low acidity, with slight chocolaty, nutty undertones, reminiscing the area, for the perfect Colada.
INTENSITY LEVEL
Much misconception and misunderstanding arise when Intensity levels are discussed or described.
Simplistically, Intensity Levels refer to the richness and intensity of the aroma of the coffee when brewed or expressed and not to the caffeine levels.
Much like wine and chocolate the characteristics begin at planting. The soil, weather conditions and terrain have a lot of influence on the final intensity.
Harvest, storage, roast and overall production are as influential in the finished product we consume.
Here at Cafe Copium, we strive on perfection. Both brands, Cafés De Cuba & Cocaina Cubana, all have a unique profile and are on the strong intensity levels of 9 to 12.
The aromas are rich. Tasting notes are bold, smooth, low acidity and full bodied. Some have hints of bitterness creating a coffee experience with power and punch.
All are great as espresso but even better with any regular or plant based milk to create the perfect cup.
