SIERRA ESCAMBRAY - 100% Arabica Coffee - Intensity 11 - Café Copium ®
Sierra Escambray mountain range is in the South Central region of the island of Cuba, with its highest peak being 3,150 ft. (Pico San Juan), encompassing rivers, waterfalls and canyons. The unique soil and elevation of the area give beans the flavor of caramel, with nutty tones, low acidity, full bodied and smokiness that is transparent here by expertly blending by us using 4 unique 100% Arabica beans.
INTENSITY LEVELS
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.
This is beyond what I expected. Makes perfect iced coffee ! Love it
Got this as a gift. It's amazing coffee with great aroma and beautiful creama on top. Just ordered another and the red can as well to try.
