Ispirazione Roma is inspired by the different layers of civilization towering up to the present day, where the Modern adds its layer of elegance to the history of the city. The coffee has a popular taste forged by time and the rich southern Italian influences, enlivened by a dash of modern elegance found in its delicate acidity. Roman roasters shrewdly developed their roasting techniques to achieve an aromatic profile that wisely combined the popular ancient taste with a twist of modernity. To mirror their skill, we gave Ispirazione Roma the shortest and lightest roast of our range.

Aromatic Profile
WOODY
Origin
This blend starts with a balanced, cereal base of natural arabicas from the Brazilian plateaus, combined with a touch of robusta for a lightly woody note. Arabicas from southeast Mexico provide the outline for this blend’s fine aromatics. This renowned region benefits from a unique terroir: rich volcanic soils exposed to rain and populated by forests that lend shade and coolness to the coffee trees.
Roasting
Surprisingly light roast for an intense coffee, balancing deep, roasted notes with a hint of acidity that gives this coffee its elegance. The different beans that compose the blend are roasted separately, with the Brazilian portion serving as a deeply roasted base, topped with a lightly roasted Mexican arabica for its delicate aromatics. A fine grind preserves the coffee’s aromatic finesse and keeps ISPIRAZIONE Roma powerful yet mild; a true testimonial to Rome’s rich story of contrasts.

Different layers of civilization towering up to the present day when Modern Rome adds its layer of elegance to the rich history of the city. ISPIRAZIONE Roma, too, is beautifully complex. There’s a subtle balance between the strength of the roastiness, the depth of the woodsy, cereal notes, and the finesse of the acidity and elegant aromatics.
