Gourmet 100% arabica - Fresh coffee beans

Gourmet is the Café du Jour blend of ten Arabica varieties, each one roasted on its own before the blend is put together. The result is soft and balanced rather than sharp: a light, almost syrupy body, a subtle sweetness and a long dark chocolate finish. It is 100% Arabica with no Robusta in the bag, and it is at its best pulled as a smooth espresso under a full crema.
Gourmet is the elegant, well-balanced end of the Café du Jour range: ten different Arabica varieties, medium roasted, and nothing else in the bag.
Roasted one variety at a time
Each of the ten varieties is roasted separately and only then blended. It is slower than roasting everything together, but beans of different sizes and densities do not develop at the same rate in the drum, so roasting them individually means each one is taken to the point where it tastes right rather than averaged out with the rest.
How it drinks
The body is light and slightly syrupy, the sweetness subtle, and the cup stays balanced from start to finish — 6 out of 13 on our strength scale, so it sits on the gentler side. What stays with you is the aftertaste: fresh, long and clearly dark chocolate. Pulled as an espresso it gives a smooth shot under a full crema.
