Caffe Umbria Announces Launch of Leone Blend
Caffe Umbria introduces a unique light roast coffee blend created for the contemporary coffee enthusiast.
- (1888PressRelease) February 09, 2018 - SEATTLE, WA – The roasting team at Caffè Umbria Inc., a leader in specialty coffee, is pleased to announce the official launch of their latest coffee, Leone Blend. The company, which embraces it’s Italian coffee roasting heritage while keeping a keen eye on innovation, created this blend especially for their guest residency at La Marzocco Café.
“My first origin trip to Peru inspired me to create a blend that would appeal to the educated coffee enthusiast,” said Stefano Bizzarri, Assistant Roaster. “I roasted it light to bring out more of the flavor notes of honey, vanilla and apricot. There’s a little bit of magic in this coffee!”
The new Leone Blend joins the lineup of six other established coffee blends and seasonal single origin coffees. Primary origins of Leone Blend include Ethiopia, known for its amazing flavor profile; Brazil, a staple in Italian blending; Colombia, adding fruit forward flavors, specifically apricot; and Peru Condor Puna, a coffee with exceptional clarity that Stefano discovered on his origin trip. Caffè Umbria has been blending and roasting artisan coffees since 2002, and their coffees are well known for their unique characteristics – distinct, flavorful and balanced.
