Lilla e Rose
Lilla e Rose has a perfectly balanced flavour with a distinctly discernible sweetness. Intensive floral, fruity and spicy aromas, together with a medium roast lend this blend a predominantly full-bodied flavour. The blend comprises exquisite Arabica beans complemented by outstanding washed Robusta beans from Java and India. The somewhat unusual name (lilas and roses) gives a promise of the prevalent flavour notes. Four national barista championships have already been won with Lilla e Rose; even private individuals abroad from Dubai to Shanghai and Vancouver order this blend regularly.
Designed as an on-trend blend for the barista scene at the end of the 1990s and since used on four occasions by winners of the Swiss barista championships. Distinctly rich in flavour and heavy-bodied with thick crema thanks to 20% washed Robusta from Java.
