This award-winning espresso is comprised of coffees that are directly imported from Tug 6’s growing partners in Alto Mogiana, Brazil; Lintong, Sumatra and Huila, Colombia.

Predominate flavours of chocolate and toffee are present and accentuated in milk.

Not Dark at all... a more fruit forward lighter roast
I prefer darker roasts and this bean is much lighter than the Cafe D'Arte Firenze for example. I would call it something between a Light and Medium Roast. If you like a lighter more fruity bean, this might work for you, but the citrus and lack of deeper chocolate notes doesn't do it for me. I appreciate that many others look for these lighter beans but I am a Philistine and prefer a more traditional Italian Style flavour in the cup.
