Passalacqua Mehari whole coffee beans in 1kg bags offer a strong, full-bodied and creamy coffee flavour that provides intense satisfaction for coffee lovers. This blend, often considered one of the best in Passalacqua's range, is renowned for its perfect balance. With a composition of 55% Arabica and 45% Robusta beans, Mehari delivers a high-quality espresso that is both powerful and rich in aroma, making it ideal for milk coffees as well.
Passalacqua, a family-owned roastery based in Naples, has been upholding the tradition of Neapolitan coffee since 1948. Starting out with a small 5kg coffee roaster, the company now handles 3460kg of coffee per hour and has remained true to its roots as a tradition-conscious family business despite its global presence. By carefully selecting the finest coffee varieties from around the world, Passalacqua attaches great importance to the highest quality in its blends.
The blend of Arabica and Robusta in Passalacqua Mehari offers a unique flavour profile. Arabica beans, known for their smooth and aromatic character, contribute sweet and fruity notes, while Robusta beans add strength, body and a delightful earthy flavour. The high Robusta content in Mehari also gives it a distinct chocolate note in the aftertaste and an exceptionally dense crema, making it excellent for both espresso machines and fully automatic machines.
The difference between Arabica and Robusta beans is striking, not only in taste but also in growing conditions and physical characteristics. Arabica beans grow at higher altitudes and tend to have a more developed flavour with higher acidity, while Robusta beans, grown at lower altitudes, produce a stronger and often more bitter cup of coffee. This skilfully balanced blend of Mehari from Passalacqua takes advantage of the distinct characteristics of both varieties to create a harmonious and satisfying coffee experience.
Passalacqua Mehari is not only an expression of the rich heritage of Neapolitan coffee culture, but also an example of the company's commitment to quality and innovation. This espresso is a tribute to the passion and craftsmanship that Passalacqua has cultivated over generations, making every cup a real treat for coffee enthusiasts around the world.
