The Story of Corazón Oscuro

We set out to challenge the standard approach to dark roasts. This coffee reminds us of a traditional Italian Espresso, offering an intense profile with a thick body and a rich, dark crema. Designed for effortless extraction, it plays beautifully on fully automatic home machines as well as prosumer espresso configurations, shining exceptionally well when combined with milk.
