The Refined Side of Naples: Smooth, Balanced, and Elegantly Sweet. Experience the authentic soul of Naples with a sophisticated twist. While Naples is famous for bold, Robusta-heavy blends, Saka Top Selection is a masterclass in 100% Arabica roasting. Crafted for the discerning home barista, this blend offers the syrupy body and thick crema Saka is famous for, but with the clarity and nuanced sweetness only the finest Central American beans can provide.
Why Saka Top Selection?
- 100% Premium Arabica: A selection of four high-altitude varieties from Central America. Saka Caffè has earned a global cult following on forums like Home-Barista and Reddit for its "no-bitterness" traditional profile.
- Lower Caffeine, Higher Complexity: As the only all-Arabica blend in the Bar Line, it offers a smoother, more fragrant experience perfect for multiple cups throughout the day.
- Low Acidity, High Crema: Despite being 100% Arabica, the artisanal "rotating drum" roasting method ensures a rich and a heavy, chocolatey mouthfeel.
Flavor Profile & Tasting Notes
- Tasting Notes: Rich dark chocolate, toasted hazelnuts, and a lingering hint of creamy vanilla.
- Mouthfeel: Smooth, syrupy, and well-balanced.
- Acidity: Very low—refined and harmonious
- Aroma: Intense and nutty
