A UNIQUE TRAIL

A deep-roasted, intense, and full-bodied cup with a woodsy aroma and punchy bitterness reminiscent of the robusta cargo that shaped Cape Town’s taste in coffee.

This blend brings you Cape Town’s taste in coffee. With South Africa as a stopping point on the old trade routes, Asian coffees shaped local taste over time. World Explorations Cape Town Lungo reflects this preference with a blend of Indian arabica and robusta. It results in our most intense lungo – full-bodied and with a punchy bitter note and woodsy aroma. Enjoy it like a local: add a splash of milk to your long cup and experience the silky texture.

Origins

Our lungo is crafted with a potent blend of Indian arabica and robusta. The medium-roasted washed robusta brings a full body, whilst the dark-roasted arabicas lend a punchy bitter note and a characteristically Indian woodsy aroma.
