Kimbo's Napoli blend is the iconic signature of Neapolitan roasting—the most authentic expression of full-bodied, rich, and enveloping southern Italian espresso. This blend combines South American Arabicas (Brazil, Colombia) for body and sweetness, with a significant proportion of African and Asian Robusta for strength, crema, and in-cup energy. The dark Neapolitan-style roast develops notes of bitter cocoa and intense roastiness.
In the cup , a powerful and enveloping espresso , with a very dense, dark hazelnut-colored crema , signature notes of bitter cocoa, sweet spices (pepper, cardamom), toasted wood, and intense roasted notes . A very full body (10/10 on the Kimbo scale), a pronounced yet elegant bitterness, and a well-integrated acidity. This is the traditional Neapolitan espresso —the one served in the cafés and bars of Piazza del Plebiscito or the Vomero district of Naples.
