This blend combines beans from Brazil and Ethiopia, both processed naturally and grown at altitudes of 1500m and 1800m respectively. The 100% arabica blend features a balanced profile with chocolate and caramel notes and low acidity. It expresses best when prepared as espresso or cappuccino, offering a new vision of traditional Italian coffee. Head Roaster Pietro Vannelli oversees the roasting process specifically for espresso preparation.
Vannelli Coffee was founded in 2019 by Giacomo and Pietro Vannelli, brothers who are three time and two time Italian Barista Champions respectively, bringing elite competition experience to their roastery in Cortona, Tuscany. Giacomo, a two time semifinalist in the World Barista Championship, returned to Italy after working as Master Barista in London, eager to promote specialty coffee to a broader audience. The Vannelli brothers represent the third generation of skilled artisans from their family, building on a legacy of precision and craftsmanship. Their roastery and academy focus on educating both professionals and coffee lovers, establishing themselves as the point of reference for specialty coffee education in Italy.
