Lavazza Blue ¡Tierra! Humeco Bio-Organic — 100 capsules

The full name Lavazza gives to this organic Blue capsule. It contains coffee from western Honduras (the regions of Copán, Ocotepeque and Lempira), where the Lavazza Foundation supports more than 1 000 coffee-growing families. The rest of the blend comes from Central America, South America and Africa.

Yes: Lavazza describes it as an organic blend (‘Bio-Organic’), and the coffee comes from Rainforest Alliance certified farms. The current logos appear on the box.

Lavazza describes it as balanced, with a velvety body and lingering flavour, featuring notes of honey, chocolate and dried fruit. It is an organic blend of 60% Arabica and 40% Robusta. Blue Intenso, another Arabica and Robusta blend, is described by Lavazza as intense and creamy (11 out of 13), and is not organic. For a pure Arabica, see Tales of Milano (9 out of 13).

With all machines in the Lavazza Blue system, whose names begin with ‘LB’: LB 300 Classy Mini, LB 900 Classy Compact, LB 1300C Classy Soul, LB 2310… It does not fit A Modo Mio, Espresso Point, Firma, Nespresso or Dolce Gusto machines.

9 g of ground coffee: the box of 100 capsules contains 900 g. One capsule makes an espresso, or a lungo using the long coffee button.

Store the box at room temperature, away from heat, moisture and light, and use the capsules before the date shown on the packaging. For recycling and disposal, follow the instructions printed on the box and those of your local authority.
