Harem is Passalacqua's blend of ten arabica origins, sold as a kilo of whole beans. Three of the ten rarely turn up in a blend at all: Guatemala Volcan Azul, Hawaii Kona Captain Cook Extra Fancy and Jamaica Blue Mountain, and it is the Blue Mountain that brings the honey, vanilla and dried fruit you taste. Sweet enough that most people stop adding sugar.

Passalacqua Harem coffee beans, 1 kg

Harem is put together from ten arabica origins rather than the two or three most blends run on, and three of those ten are names you rarely see inside a blend: Guatemala Volcan Azul, Hawaii Kona Captain Cook Extra Fancy and Jamaica Blue Mountain. Kona and Blue Mountain are grown on a small scale and priced to match, which is why they usually get sold on their own.

How it tastes

Sweet, and sweet in a particular way: the Blue Mountain gives honey with vanilla and dried fruit behind it, and the rest of the blend is built around that note instead of over it. There is no robusta in the bag, so you miss the hard bitter edge robusta brings and get a lighter crema in exchange. At 7 out of 13 on our strength scale it sits in the middle of the range: enough body for a short cup, mild enough to drink black all afternoon. That is where the sugar habit tends to fall away.

Buying it as beans

It comes as a kilo of whole beans, so the grind is yours to set. Ten origins in one blend means the cup stays much the same from bag to bag, which matters more than it sounds when you are buying a kilo at a time.

FAQ
Customer Questions
Is the Passalacqua Harem certified organic?

No. Passalacqua has several blends and, according to our product data, the Harem does not have organic certification. Our site previously showed wording suggesting that all Passalacqua coffee is organic; that was not correct and that text has been amended.

If you are looking for certified organic coffee, have a look at our organic coffee beans. That is where you will find the products that carry the official BIO label.

Which coffees are in the Passalacqua Harem?

The Harem is a blend of 10 origins and consists of 100 percent arabica, with no robusta. Among them are three rare gourmet coffees: Guatemala Volcan Azul, Hawaii Kona Captain Cook Extra Fancy and Jamaica Blue Mountain.

The Jamaica Blue Mountain in particular makes this blend special, with a flavour that leans towards honey with hints of vanilla and dried fruit.

Do I get whole beans or ground coffee with the Passalacqua Harem?

You receive whole coffee beans in a 1 kilo pack.

If you want to use the coffee in a filter machine or a cafetière, grind the beans yourself and match the grind size to your equipment: filter grind for a pour over filter, coarser for a cafetière and fine for espresso.

Which coffee machine is the Passalacqua Harem suitable for?

According to our product data, the Harem is suitable for espresso, filter coffee and cappuccino. Because these are whole beans, you can use them directly in a bean-to-cup machine or in a separate coffee grinder.

It is a dark Italian-style roast, so bear in mind that the beans can release a little more oil than a lighter roast. For a double espresso, allow around 16 to 20 grams.

What does the Passalacqua Harem taste like?

The Harem is a dark roasted, naturally sweet coffee with an intensity of 7 out of 13, which we classify as strong. In the flavour you can pick out honey, fruit, nut and caramel.

Because of that natural sweetness, many people drink this coffee without sugar, both at home and at the bar.
