Saka Gran Bar
€12,50
Unit price perExperience the soul of Naples with Saka Gran Bar, a premium espresso blend crafted by Saka Caffè. Designed for the "demanding palate," this blend strikes the perfect balance between the refined elegance of Arabica and the syrupy, high-crema intensity of traditional Neapolitan roasting.
Why choose Saka Gran Bar?
Unlike standard commercial coffee, Saka Gran Bar is roasted in the traditional Neapolitan style but with a higher Arabica percentage than its "Classic" or "Espresso Bar" counterparts. This results in a cup that is remarkably smooth and sweet, featuring a thick, mahogany-colored crema without the harsh bitterness often associated with dark roasts.
Flavor Profile & Tasting Notes
- Tasting Notes: Dominant notes of dark chocolate and honey, finished with a subtle, warming spice.
- Mouthfeel: Full-bodied and velvety; it produces a "chewy" mouthfeel that lingers.
- Acidity: Exceptionally low, making it gentle on the stomach and ideal for those who dislike sour or fruity "third wave" coffees.
- Aroma: Intense and fragrant with hints of toasted nuts and spices.
