Swedes are among the world’s biggest coffee consumers. Wander around Stockholm, and you’ll often find intense black coffees with a malty savoury note coming from the distinctive Monsoon Arabica. WORLD EXPLORATIONS STOCKHOLM FORTISSIO LUNGO recreates the aromatic profile of a Swedish coffee by coupling Monsooned Malabar with Colombian Arabica for an intense, sweet cup with a hint of bitterness. Drink it like a local:  Share your large flavourful cup and cinnamon rolls with friends and family.

Origin

WORLD EXPLORATIONS STOCKHOLM FORTISSIO LUNGO is a rich and intense all-Arabica blend that reflects the aromatic profile popular among Swedes. In the age of sailing ships, Indian coffees took on a wild ocean-air taste on their long journey to Sweden – that savoury, malty character captured Swedish hearts and palates. Our blend pays homage to this history, anchored by an Indian Monsooned Malabar. Today we recreate this full-bodied, distinct taste by warehousing this Arabica for months along India’s southwestern coast. Monsoonal winds blow through and transform the beans’ very structure.  Our blend’s high-grown Colombian Arabicas complement this anchor by crowning it with a glimmer of sweetness. The balance of origins, distinct processing methods and distinguished roasts create a rich and inviting profile. No wonder the Swedes drink so much coffee. As long and dark as a Scandinavian winter, their coffee is so treasured that it’s a national right to gather and share it with others alongside cakes and pastries. The pure tradition brings a warmth and richness worth slowing down for.

Roasting

The Monsooned Arabica gets a darker roast to enhance its body and cereal notes. A lighter roast of the washed Colombian coffee means all the classic finer aromatics stay in the balance of Stockholm Fortissio Lungo.

Aromatic Profile

Sweet cereal and malty toasted notes lie beneath a spray of acidity and a lively bitterness in this Lungo coffee.
