Roasted in New Zealand, pre-blended before roasting.
A MASTERFUL FUSION OF CRAFT, CREMA, AND SWEETNESS
For home baristas who appreciate technical roasting precision and a impeccably sweet, full-bodied cup, our Gustoso Blend is in a class of its own. Pre-blended prior to roasting, this blend pairs two remarkable origins: high-grade, washed Java Robusta (Grade 1, Screen 18/19) from East Java—celebrated by Europe’s top roasters for building structure—and specialty, sun-dried Brazil Mogiana (Screen 17/18) from São Paulo. Freshly roasted right here in New Zealand, it honors classic craft while delivering uncompromised freshness.
To unlock its signature character, the beans undergo a specialized roasting method: slow-roasted for 7 minutes before ramping up the heat right to the edge of the second crack (City Roast / Northern Italian profile). This precise heat management produces a coffee with virtually no harsh acidity, allowing the natural sugars to shine. Extraction yields an abundance of dense crema and a velvety body, opening into a flavor profile marked by rich dark chocolate, toasted nuts, and a smooth caramel-vanilla sweetness—making it an absolute powerhouse in milk drinks like flat whites and lattes.
