What makes Orafio glow in your cup is a combination of masterful blending, bringing together both high quality Arabica and Robusta coffees from a diversity of origins, and skilful split roasting. Sounds a bit like the level of craftmanship that goes into this coffee’s namesake, doesn’t it? The Italians among us will recognize the link to their word for goldsmith. We crafted Orafio with a light and long roasted Ugandan Robusta. That roast keeps this coffee’s typical body and bitterness in check while still delivering the liquorice and spice notes that are hallmarks of this origin’s naturally processed Robusta. A short dark roast of the Brazilian and Costa Rican Arabicas balances the blend. Orafio is a complex coffee carrying a delicious caramel note and lingering with a long finish. Its beautiful roasted notes graced by a hint of acidity make this a luxurious coffee worth its weight in gold.
In a Latte Macchiato recipe, Orafio’s coffee character becomes softened, giving way to sweet caramel and milky notes.
