Drink Profile: Experience the depth of classic Italian espresso — dark, strong, and full of character. Expect notes of cocoa, roasted almond, and caramelised sugar, rounded off with a lingering bitterness and smoky spice finish. A masterful balance of Robusta and Arabica beans delivers the rich, bold flavour that defines true Italian coffee.
Our Trieste blend is the perfect harmony of Arabica and Robusta beans, crafted to deliver an authentic Italian-style espresso experience.
This blend unites premium Brazilian Arabica and Indian Robusta beans, combining the dark chocolate richness of Indian Robusta with the roasted almond notes of Brazilian Arabica. The result is a velvety, full-bodied espresso with a deep, satisfying flavour that captures the essence of a true Italian espresso cup.
Born in the coastal city that gave espresso to the world, Trieste embodies the spirit of Italian coffee culture. Bold, timeless, and full of character. From the historic cafés overlooking the Adriatic Sea to the aroma of freshly roasted beans drifting through the port, Trieste represents the heart and soul of Italy’s espresso tradition.
At Black Opal Coffee, Trieste pays homage to this legacy. Roasted in Melbourne, it carries the same devotion to flavour and balance that defined the old-world Italian roasters, a celebration of European craftsmanship and Australian artistry. Each sip is a journey: from the cobblestoned cafés of Northern Italy to the smooth crema of a perfectly pulled espresso.
