Ispirazione Venezia
A CITY ONCE AT THE CROSSROADS OF TWO CIVILIZATIONS
Venezia wants to exalt one of the most enduring local coffee traditions in Italy with a roast that blends intense Ottoman-influenced notes with the highly aromatic profiles of European coffee. We owe these influences to the Venetian traders, the first importers of coffee in Italy. The city was indeed the gateway to Ottoman culture, and its port was soon filled with roasters and other blending experts. Venetian roasters have refined their art over the centuries and have passed on their know-how to the next generations. Ispirazione Venezia was inspired by the know-how passed on by the Venetian roasters, by the art of harmoniously combining the aromatic and intense notes of the different coffees.
The port of Venice was the gateway to coffee in Italy. Venetians became experts in blending and learned about natural green coffee beans. It wasn't long before the first cafés and other coffee shops opened and most had their own roasters offering their own blends.
