Product Details

Where the Beans Come From

Buenos Aires Lungo is crafted with washed Colombian Arabica beloved for its finesse and delicate fruity acidity, paired with lightly roasted Robusta from Uganda that brings malty cereal and sweet popcorn notes to the blend. The Colombian Arabica adds refinement and balance, while the Ugandan Robusta contributes warmth and abundant sweetness — together creating an aromatic, balanced cup that reflects Buenos Aires’ passion for smooth, sweet long coffees.

How It Is Roasted

This coffee is gradually roasted in two controlled splits to ensure its light profile is preserved. The second split is smaller but roasted for slightly longer to deliver some intensity and body to the blend without losing the gentle, sweet character. The result is a mildly roasted lungo with nutty cereal notes, abundant sweetness and characteristic popcorn notes — roastiness rates just 1 out of 5.

How It Tastes

Buenos Aires Lungo is an aromatic and balanced blend with nutty cereal notes, abundant sweetness and characteristic sweet popcorn notes. The gently roasted character tantalizes with malty cereal and caramel on a smooth, harmonious cup with silky aftertaste. Bitterness rates 1 out of 5, acidity 2 out of 5, and body 3 out of 5 — the mildest and sweetest lungo in the World Explorations collection.

How to Serve It

• Lungo (110 ml) — recommended: Brew as a lungo for the fullest cereal, caramel and sweet popcorn character.
• With milk & sugar — like a local: Add a generous drop of milk and cane sugar at will for an extra treat — the way Buenos Aires drinks its coffee.
• Bowl café con leche: Brew in a bowl generously filled with hot milk and don’t hold back on cane sugar to sweeten the taste.
• With a dash of milk: Enhances cereal and popcorn notes for a balanced cup with a lighter body.
• With friends or a daily paper: Savour your long cup in the company of colleagues, friends or your morning read — as locals do on Buenos Aires terraces.
