The Story Behind Originale
Originale means "original" in Italian.
This is where the ARDITO experience begins: a coffee created around the belief that an exceptional everyday cup should never be complicated.
Originale brings together the comforting flavors people love about coffee with the freshness, care, and complexity of specialty roasting.
Where the Coffee Comes From
Four carefully selected coffee origins create Originale's signature balance.
Brazil, Mogiana: Natural-process Arabica from the Cooxupé cooperative, grown at approximately 800 to 1,200 meters. Bourbon and Mundo Novo varieties contribute chocolate richness and body.
Colombia, Huila: Washed El Tiple coffee sourced from small family farms around Pitalito, grown at 1,500 to 1,800 meters. Contributes milk chocolate, brown sugar, and balanced sweetness.
Sumatra, Aceh: Fair Trade organic Mandheling coffee from smallholder farmers associated with PT IKA. Traditionally wet-hulled, contributing substantial body, depth, and subtle spice.
Ethiopia, Yirgacheffe: Natural-process Chelbesa coffee from the Gedeo Zone. Wolisho and Dega varieties contribute delicate fruit character and aromatic complexity.
Each component serves a purpose, creating a blend designed for balance, versatility, and consistency.
