The first impression of this Blaser Coffee Espresso Cote d’Azur is overwhelming.
Its fragrance is harmonious and well-rounded; it has a fantastic nose and flavour.
Cote d’Azur has been in the market for a short time and Markus Blaser wants to present this blend as the light Mediterranean line with full aroma and pleasure. At first glance the broad spectrum of aromas can be described as fruity. Blaser’s Cote d’Azur has particularly few irritants and is therefore also very digestible and gentle with your stomach.
For their Cote d’Azur Blaser’s coffee roasters use an excellent mix of washed varietals of highland coffees from Central and South America. In order to unite the optimum characteristics of the bean varietals into a perfect coffee each varietal is roasted slowly at constant temperatures and in small batches in the redating drum. This way each varietal contributes to an optimum result, one to the variety and harmony of aromatic ingredients, the other to balancing acidity, fruity overtones, body, richness or the lasting fragrance and presence. Only after roasting and cooling down the varietals are mixed into what is called a perfect blend. This procedure is much more elaborate; however, we gain much pleasure as a result. A truly extraordinary roast from Blaser. The share of 20% Robusta gives it a slightly spicy flavour and a wonderfully dense crema.
