La Grande Reserve Coffee

TAST­ING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

Mal­on­go La Grande Réserve is a har­mo­nious blend of eight Ara­bi­cas. A warm, toast­ed aro­ma with refined fruity and nut­ty under­tones on the palate, La Grande Réserve is rich, full-bod­ied with a bright, fruity acidity. 

An espres­so pulled with La Grande Réserve pro­duces a beau­ti­ful­ly bal­anced shot, with a kiss of foamy cre­ma and lin­ger­ing sweet aftertaste. 

PREPA­RA­TION

While most peo­ple tend toward sin­gle ori­gins cof­fee, ara­bi­ca blends pro­vide a unique fla­vor pro­file that com­bines dif­fer­ent flavours and tex­tures from dif­fer­ent ori­gins. This depth and flavour and com­plex­i­ty is what makes cof­fee blends such as Mal­on­go La Grande Réserve a barista’s choice for espres­so-based drinks, per­fect for a short black, amer­i­cano, or cappuccino.

Owing to one of our founder’s French roots, enjoy a La Grande Réserve caffe allongé (also known as caffe lun­go) with a square of Michael Cluizel Noir de Cacao 72% Dark Choco­late or choco­late cov­ered almonds.

THE FRENCH SPE­CIAL­IST IN HIGH-END COFFEE

Malongo’s pas­sion for great cof­fee start­ed in the rur­al town of Nice, France dur­ing the 1930s. Roast­ing over 8,000 tonnes of cof­fee annu­al­ly, its eth­i­cal qual­i­ty and com­mit­ment to its part­ners are its keys to success.

A lead­ing name in fair trade cof­fees and bio-cof­fees, Mal­on­go prod­ucts are cer­ti­fied organ­ic and/​or fair-trade cof­fees, with the com­pa­ny obtain­ing its fair trade sta­tus in 1992.
