60% Arabica 40% Robusta
Penelope is the blend that best represents Italian coffee shops. The prevalence of Arabica from Brazil grown at high altitudes and robust from India gives this blend malty, dried fruit and spicy profiles, and with a little marked acidity. The roasting technique used is that of split-roast, a part of mixture is slowly roasted for a long time and another part is roasted lighter.
This particular roasting process allows the characteristics of Arabica and Robusta that make up the blend to be kept distinct.
