You could call this an old school, Italian-style blend from our friends at Tribe. It's quite dark-roasted and even includes some robusta, much as all the famous Italian espresso blends do.
That robusta gives the coffee a bit of "edge" that those looking for traditional flavours will enjoy in black espresso, and that will also cut through even the sweetest milk. It has some subtle hints of fruit and nuts and plenty of creaminess all of which make it a satisfying classic espresso.
To get optimal results, we used quite short espresso extractions around 20s.
Roaster's notes
This blend was made for a client in Johannesburg. He insisted that we add Robusta, so against our judgement and our advice we did what was asked. And wow, it’s a subtle reminder that we can always learn more.
- Mouthfeel: Full bodied but surprisingly with medium mouthfeel
- On the nose: Hazelnut, berries and milk chocolate
- Taste: The delicate flavours and medium acidity rushes the flavours around your mouth then vanish sweetly.

Great flavour and nice and smooth
Amazing Flavour and Freshness
Tried these beans for the first time and absolutely love it. Told my wife I prefer our coffee at home because it's more consistent than most coffee shops when using our amateur brewing setup. The next day delivery is also awesome. Would definitely recommend this.
Are you willing to go a little further?
This is a good coffee that delivers mostly everything that I am looking for, but lacks the strength and bitterness of a really well dark roasted beans. I am a avid drinker of Starbucks Verona which is a 80% Yukon Blend® and 20% Starbucks® Italian Roast. When adding just one coffee spoon measure of Verona to five spoon measures of this coffee, you get fireworks in your mouth. You have nothing to lose. Try It, who knows, you might like it!
Not fresh
I could tell by the grind and extraction that these beans had been on the shelf a while. Packaging doesn’t provide roast date but best by date of Dec 2024. Not a good sign when buying “freshly” roasted beans.
Delicious
Deliciously nutty and sweet – good with milk and without! We've brewed it with espresso-based drinks and in the Technivorm Moccamaster: winner, winner, chicken dinner.
