ROASTING & FLAVOUR PROFILE
Intenso is one of our darkest roasts of coffee, and one of our most versatile. Dark roast blends are roasted longer than any other, resulting in a darker and oilier coffee bean producing a richer more pronounced flavour. Roasting coffee beans for longer also means that the brighter and more acidic flavour notes of the origin profile become subdued, as does the caffeine content.
INTENSO ORIGINS
BRAZIL
Our famed Brazil Santos selection prevails as one of the finest bases for which we develop our range of flavours and blends. We meticulously select only the finest beans to ensure that in each cup you will discover flavour profiles of nuts, cocoa, chocolate and dried fruit. Attentively we commence roasting our Brazilian varieties to light-medium roast to achieve their well-balanced body, endearing a smooth and velvety soft mouthfeel to every cup.
NICARAGUA
From Nicaragua Kokebi Coffee has traced some of the world’s finest Arabica coffee varietals boasting complex, sweet tasting notes complimented by a hint of spice and black pepper. The results on the palate prevail in a bittersweet and complex astringency, amidst a rich dark chocolate aftertaste with a medium acidity for a smooth finish from each cup.
COLOMBIA
We have carefully selected the finest and most balanced Colombian coffee beans providing notes of sweet berries with a citrus like acidity. The Caturra and Castillo coffee varieties we combined are prized for their medium to heavy body, sweetness, floral notes rounded out by delicate notes of brown sugar.
SUMATRA
We have selected the finest Catimor and Typica coffee beans from Sumatra, Indonesia which for any coffee lover will provide an unrivalled flavour experience. Encounter a rich and creamy body with decadent flavour notes of sweet and dark chocolate entwined in citrus and florals. The culmination of this flavour experience is indebted to the rich soils of Sumatra's tropical climate, culminating in a sweet and alluring aftertaste.

Beans stay fresher for longer, and so your coffee should taste better, too. As soon as green coffee beans are roasted, they start to release CO2, which affects the taste. They will oxidise and slowly start to go 'stale' and have a flat taste after a while. When coffee is ground, there is a higher surface area which is exposed to oxygen and that will cause them to lose their freshness faster, so it's best to keep coffee beans whole as close to brewing as possible. Treat your coffee beans similarly to potatoes: store them in a dark, dry place. It's best they are kept in a container or the bag they come in to stop oxygen and moisture getting in.
