Vietnamese No.1 Robusta

An intensely bold dark roast crafted from premium Grade #1 Vietnamese Robusta beans. Grown in Vietnam’s renowned coffee regions, this coffee delivers massive body, powerful caffeine strength, and the unmistakable character traditional Vietnamese coffee is famous for.

Designed primarily for Vietnamese coffee preparation or blending, Midnight Dragon produces a thick, rich cup with notes of dark cocoa, toasted walnut, and smoky caramelized sugar.

This is not a delicate sipping coffee — it is a strong, unapologetically bold roast made for those who want maximum intensity and energy. Perfect with condensed milk or blended into espresso for extra crema and strength.

Diabolique Premium European Espresso (Med-Dark Roast) BLEND

Rick Masana — Fri, 25 Nov 2016 07:55:02 +0000

Coffee Origin: Brazil, Colombia, PNG and Sumatra

100% Arabica beans.

A truly “diabolical” blend of South Pacific and South American coffees. Combined to create an elegant, complex blend that oozes crema, with enough brightness to shine through milk. Look for flavours of buttery caramel, dark Belgian chocolate and candied fruit. This blend is amazing when prepared as espresso, drip or in a press.
