Lavazza Qualita Oro Black Mountain Grown, 1kg whole coffee beans. This is Lavazza's take on a classic 100% Arabica, grown high in the mountains.

Overview

Lavazza's Qualita Oro Black Mountain Grown uses 100% Arabica beans, sourced from high-altitude farms in Central and South America, plus Africa. The "mountain grown" part isn't just marketing; it means slower bean development, which often results in a denser, more complex coffee. You'll find it makes a balanced espresso or a clean filter coffee.
