Stretto - 250g / 1kg

With the Stretto blend, we travel from Africa to Asia in a single cup.

Tanzania

The natural Robusta single-origin coffee from Tanzania is a Superior, from the Bukoba region, grown at over 800 meters above sea level.

Coffee cultivation began in 1898 with Catholic missionaries. It immediately became a major export crop.

Today, most of it is produced by small farmers organized into cooperatives.

The coffee-growing areas of Kagera and Bukoba, in the northeast of the country on the shores of Lake Victoria, are where natural Robusta is mainly grown, with an intense aroma and chocolatey flavor.

Uganda

The natural Robusta single-origin coffee from Uganda comes from the Masaka area, in the southeast of the country, grown at over 800 meters above sea level.

The main growing area is located on the shores of Lake Victoria, between 800 and 1,200 meters, a fairly high altitude for Robusta coffees, which gives the roasted beans interesting and complex aromatic notes.

Interestingly, coffee in Uganda is often certified sustainable, and growers are generally very careful to create a proper ecosystem between agriculture and wild, unspoiled land, with complete respect for nature.

Most of the plantations are small and family-run, each with unique characteristics, before they all come together at the processing stations to process the coffee and prepare it for export.

Uganda is also one of the most intense, creamy, and full-bodied coffees we at Caffè Ernani have in our catalog, appreciated for reminding one of a thick, dark hot chocolate.

Indonesia

The third natural Robusta comes from Indonesia, a country that began growing coffee at the end of the 17th century following the Dutch East India Company. The archipelago became a global pioneer in Arabica coffee production. But after coffee leaf rust decimated harvests in 1876, the country adapted by introducing the hardier Robusta plant.

The archipelago boasts unique regions and aromatic profiles, such as the Sumatra district, from which our Indonesia comes, famous for its velvety body and spicy notes, processed using the washed method.

Other coffees produced are: Sulawesi (Toraja) and Kopi Luwak (Bali).

So, with a taste of our Stretto, you will find yourself first among the lion savannas and gorilla forests of Africa, with notes of spices and bitter cocoa. The aftertaste, on the other hand, takes you to Asia, with notes of chocolate and nuts, combined with a full body.
