Doha: The first sip of coffee in the morning is a blissful moment, a sheer pleasure. Inviting coffee lovers around the world to savour the moment for longer, coffee experts at Nespresso have created a new permanent addition to their range — Envivo Lungo to enliven the senses and help start the day right.
Envivo Lungo (intensity 9 on the scale from 1-12) is the most intense of the Nespresso Lungo range with a sumptuous and unique flavour. The dark roasted coffee is a blend of distinctive Arabica from India with a Robusta from Mexico, with roasted notes and rich scents reminiscent of aromatic woods and gingerbread.
Alexis Rodriguez, Head of Coffee Development, Nespresso, said: “We carefully crafted Envivo Lungo with a high proportion of Robusta coffee beans to produce a strong, full-bodied coffee. We use washed Robusta which gives a more refined taste to deliver a final product that is intense but without any harshness on the palate.”
The Nespresso intensity scale has been created to help consumers differentiate between their favourite Grands Crus. The intensity is defined by looking at three aspects — an evaluation of the roasted notes, the bitterness and the body.
Envivo Lungo is ranked towards the top of this scale at intensity level 9 meaning that those who enjoy a long, intense cup of coffee in the morning have the perfect option that offers delicious caramelised notes. When creating Grand Cru, experts were inspired by the traditional morning coffee many consumers savour with milk in a longer serving size, so Envivo Lungo also marries perfectly with milk, maintaining its distinctive intense flavour for a deliciously rich and full-bodied start to the day.
Envivo Lungo joins the range of five Nespresso Lungos, all designed to be enjoyed at a 110ml serving size: Fortissio Lungo, intensity 8, rich and full-bodied; Linzio Lungo, intensity 4, round and smooth; Vivalto Lungo, intensity 4, complex and balanced; Bukeela ka Ethiopia, intensity 3, floral and wild (pure origin), and Vivalto Lungo Decaffeinato, intensity 4, complex and balanced (decaffeinato)
Envivo Lungo is a long cup that stimulates the senses through its intense and generous character, high intensity and high body. Delight your senses with aromatic dry wood, gingerbread and caramelised notes followed by an intense and pleasant after taste. Intensity: 9; serving size: Lungo (110ml)
Envivo Lungo will be particularly appealing to the intense espresso lovers searching for an intense long cup. Those who prefer coffee with milk can also delight as Envivo Lungo is delicious with milk, becoming rounder in flavour and maintaining its intense character.
Savoured as a Lungo Macchiato, with a touch of milk froth, Envivo Lungo becomes rounder while keeping its intense character. Enjoyed as a Latte Macchiato, combined with the smoothness of milk froth, Envivo Lungo Grand Cru expresses softened woody notes while developing round, indulgent and buttery aromatics.
Envivo Lungo is a permanent addition to the Nespresso range which now consists of 24 Grands Crus. It will be available from Nespresso boutiques worldwide, through orders from Nespresso Customer care centres and online at www.nespresso.com
