HAVANA VIEJA - 100% Arabica Coffee - Intensity 9 - Café Copium ®
Our Havana Vieja blend pays tribute to ‘Old Havana’ - as the first coffee plantation was cultivated on the outskirts of the beautiful ancient city, once a gateway from The Old World to The New World. Dark, smooth and earthy with high crema. This true old blend has low acidity, is smooth with a slight licorice finish bringing out the delicious flavors of the region.
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.
