With this espresso, Alessia Alunni honors her mother, Luigina. Out of gratitude, she chooses Luigina as the namesake for this very special blend.

Luigina has the power to bring the whole world to your cup. The eight carefully selected varieties in this coffee originate from Brazil, Kenya, Nepal, Peru, Puerto Rico, and Santo Domingo. The Robusta beans come from India (India Kaapi Royale) and Cuba. The aromatic Kaapi Royale beans are cultivated in the mountains of Baba Budan in western India. There, the nutrient-rich soil and high altitude ensure top-quality green coffee. In the cup, these beans transform into a highly aromatic, dark-brown espresso with a rich crema.

This Alunni blend is distinguished by its barely perceptible acidity, which has been reduced to a minimum through gentle, long-term roasting.
