INTENSITY LEVEL
A lot of confusion often surrounds the topic of coffee “intensity levels,” so let us clear that up for you. Simply put, intensity refers to the richness and boldness of the coffee’s aroma and flavor once it’s brewed - not its caffeine content. Just like fine wine and chocolate, every coffee’s unique character starts at the plantation. Soil, climate, altitude, and terrain all play a huge role. Then come the harvesting, storage, roasting, and production methods - each one equally important in creating the final cup you enjoy. Here at Cafe Copium, we're obsessed with perfection. That’s why both of our signature brands - Cafés De Cuba and Cocaina Cubana - are crafted with distinctive profiles and sit in the bold intensity range of 9 -12. Expect rich, powerful aromas and tasting notes that are smooth, full-bodied, low in acidity, and sometimes accented with a pleasant hint of bitterness. The result? A coffee experience that truly packs power and punch. They’re fantastic as straight espresso, but they become even more magical when paired with regular or plant-based milk - creating the perfect cup every time.
Rule of thumb and use:
I visited Cuba about 25 years ago on People to People tour and visited many Cubans in homes and retirement centers. They were gracious and very kind to us. Whenever we had coffee it was often Cubita and I absolutely fell in love with Cubita Coffee. Of course due to the Cuban embargo, you can not buy true Cuban Coffee in the US so I an always on the lookout for a good American made Cuban type coffee. This coffee is delicious. I have gone through the can in a very short time. I am now looking at the other offerings to decide what I want to try next me
both excellent old time cuppochinos!!
As a coffee drinker for decades, I have tried many different coffees throughout my extensive travels in the Middle East, Asia and Europe, this coffee is exceptional!
Really delicious, a cafe con leche with this is my favorite way to start the day or to pick me up in the afternoon!
Incredible rich taste
