In the lands of coffee

It takes 50 beans to make a perfect cup of espresso

Fifty beans are needed for each cup of coffee. This is illycaffè’s formula: premium Arabica beans picked in South America, India, Africa and Central America. The beans are skillfully roasted and blended to create a consitently unique experience of flavor and aroma. But it is also something more: an elixer born in the tropics that flows to the mind and awakens the heart. How ancient and yet modern it is, this worldwide coffee ritual. How strongly it unites people in their countless different customs. The whole world in one cup, holding the culture of the blend in an amiable global gesture.

Drink a coffee and read Jorge Amado: “… in every real Brazilian man flows a blood rich in African, European, Indios and half-caste ferments; this is what makes Brazil so magically overflowing with light and shade, so fragile, so cheerful, so violent and yet so impossible to forget….”
And is this not just the right alchemy for a good coffee?
