Venezia Blend 12oz
Venezia 1580: The historic first coffee beans brought to Italy. This single origin replicates the original coffee beans brought by Venetian merchants and Propsero Alpino from the Sidamo region of Ethiopia where the arabica tree first grew. In 1580 Venetian Prospero Alpini brought the first sacks of Ethiopian Arabica coffee to Venice. At first used for medicinal purposes due to their incredible properties of promoting alertness and focus. By the mid 1600s the first coffee houses opened in Venice and in 1720 the first true opulent caffè called Florian opened on Piazza Santa Marco ushering in thousands of other caffès on the Italian Peninsula and beyond.
The lineage of this coffee history in Venice and Europe begins with the coffee beans in this bag. These exquisite coffee beans produce an aromatic and refined coffee with fruity notes of berries and citrus integrated with beautiful acidity, orange blossom and silky-smooth chocolate and caramel notes.
