“Old Roast of Trieste” |
|
 |
Harvesting |
|
|
To guarantee an Italian espresso with truly exceptional
characteristics in terms of body, crema and aroma, it is essential to create a
classic blend of the finest available coffee beans. Our green coffees are
selected from amongst the most prestigious in the world, coming predominantly
from Africa and Central and South America.

Roasting &
Blending |
|
|
For centuries, coffee was roasted in wood-fired ovens.
It was not until the last 100 years or so that other heat sources such as
natural gas and electricity have taken over from wood, both of which have
primarily been used to speed up the roasting process and reduce cost … not to
enhance the final product. Fortunately, even with the advent of more modern heat
sources, our roasters here at Antica Tostatura Triestina have
steadfastly refused to abandon the time-honored, traditional, wood-fired
roasting method. This is one of the secrets of our tradition that makes
our coffee blends so unique and unmistakable. Taking more time than during any
other phase of the process, we do the blending only after the roasting,
resulting in blends that are precise and homogenous. Every single blend is
comprised of 7 or 8 different coffees carefully and proportionally mixed. This
blending is done with extreme care and without compromise to always guarantee
that our blends are of the highest quality, and are perfectly balanced in taste,
body and fragrance.

Packaging |
|
All of our products are packaged in the highest quality, coffee specific
materials that safeguard the contents from coffees three biggest enemies …
air, light and humidity. Whole beans are nitrogen flushed and vacuum sealed
in 1kg bags with one-way valves to only allow gases to escape and not enter
the bag. Tins are made from a fully recyclable steel, all pods are
individually wrapped to ensure peak freshness upon use and capsules are 100%
biodegradable.
