The Marmalade blend was originally roasted for the Roast Masters 2019 competition in Milano, where the task was to create an espresso blend that celebrates the specialty coffee industry and introduces a new idea. Kalve did exactly that and was duly rewarded with a silver medal.
The idea: use higher scoring coffees to achieve intense and complex flavours but roast in a method that retains a taste balance and texture that is friendly for all coffee lovers. The result: truly sweet, complex, competition-quality coffee that is suitable for every occasion.
Roasting Info
Kalve espresso roasts have a higher intensity, rich texture, less acidity, a sweeter profile, and more noticeable flavors of caramelization. Due to their greater solubility, espresso roasts will make it easier for you to taste the many flavors of the coffee. Although the blends are most suited for espresso machines and Moka pots, you can brew the coffee any way you like.
Sustainable Coffee Cycle
From farm to cup, the coffee cycle is one of honesty and transparency. Kalve sources coffee beans exclusively from farmers who employ environmentally friendly harvesting techniques and care about biodiversity.
Once imported, the coffee beans are roasted to perfection to ensure consistency and packaged in sustainably made tins that can be reused. Sustainability is one of Kalve’s core values and the company is targeting Co2 neutrality by 2028.
