For the fourth year in a row in the forefront of the international fair, Lavazza will be present with its existing, well-known product range, with displays devoted to its various products for the Café, Restaurant and Hotel sectors.

“For over 120 years, Lavazza has been delivering authentic coffee experiences in more than 90 countries all over the world.

Lavazza is launching at Gulfood its latest innovative offering for 2019: ¡Tierra! Colombia espresso and filter 100% washed Arabica blends, Lavazza’s interpretation of the Colombian territory and taste experience. ¡Tierra! Colombia brings together the taste profiles that are typical of the different Colombian regions: the acidity of the coffees from the South, the aromatic and fruity notes from the western Cordillera, and the body of the Meta region.
¡Tierra! Colombia espresso is characterized by an aromatic harmony and a smooth taste, enhanced by a sweet taste and a rich body. Notes of tropical fruit are accompanied by scents of lime peel and jasmine, with a mild liqueur-like aftertaste.
¡Tierra! Colombia is also available for filter preparation: a different blend and a different roasting method especially calibrated to achieve the best in-cup profile. This coffee is characterized by a fruity aroma, a balanced body, and the strong sweetness typical of Colombian washed Arabica. Notes of grapefruit, red fruits, bergamot and honey.
The blend is a concrete example of Lavazza’s commitment to sustainability and its painstaking search for the best coffee selections.
Visitors of Gulfood 2019 are welcome to taste the unique blend during the five-day event.
