Organic Espresso Intensivo, beans, 10 x 500 g

Our ALTOMAYO Espresso Intensivo is a robust, intensely aromatic organic espresso made from 100% single-origin Arabica beans grown at over 1,200 meters in the Peruvian highlands. Cultivated in sustainable mixed crops and agroforestry systems, the coffee plants grow amidst shade trees, banana plants, citrus fruits, and other native plant species—a vibrant ecosystem that not only protects biodiversity but also shapes the distinctive character of our coffee.

The hand-picked harvest takes place exclusively at optimal ripeness – only the best, red-ripened coffee cherries are carefully selected and then traditionally processed and sun-dried. The high-quality organic green coffee beans are imported directly to Germany, where they undergo a particularly gentle, long-term drum roasting process. This process allows the unique aromas to develop slowly and fully – without any rush, but with a great deal of sensitivity, calm, and serenity.

In the cup, our Espresso Intensivo impresses with robust notes of dark chocolate, roasted nuts, and a hint of caramel and citrus. Its refined crema, balanced body, and intense yet harmoniously mild flavor profile make it the ideal companion for espresso lovers—on its own, in a cappuccino, or as a base for creative coffee concoctions.

Preparation recommendation: For a perfect result, we recommend preparing in an espresso maker (Bialetti), portafilter or fully automatic coffee machine.
