Quimera is a bold and memorable espresso blend created for coffee lovers who enjoy intensity, depth, and plenty of character in every cup. Designed to be approachable while delivering a powerful flavour experience, this award-winning blend combines 70% specialty-grade Arabica coffee with 30% fine Robusta. The result is a rich, full-bodied espresso with impressive crema, satisfying strength, and a smooth, lingering finish.

 

The flavour profile is built around dark chocolate, roasted peanut, and natural sweetness. The first sip delivers bold cocoa and nutty aromas, followed by a deep, full-bodied character with gentle smoky and earthy notes. As the coffee develops, a soft sweetness remains on the palate, creating a balanced finish that invites you to take another sip.

 

Quimera was created for those moments when you want your coffee to make an impression. It is energetic, intense, and unapologetically bold, making it an excellent choice for espresso drinkers who appreciate a strong and distinctive cup. At the same time, its carefully balanced profile makes it easy to enjoy every day, whether you are preparing a morning espresso, a rich cappuccino, a creamy flat white, or a smooth latte.

 

The specialty Arabica component contributes sweetness, aromatic complexity, and refined chocolate notes, while the fine Robusta adds body, strength, depth, and a generous crema. Together, these coffees create a blend that is both powerful and balanced. It has enough structure to stand up beautifully to milk, yet remains full of flavour when enjoyed black.

 

Quimera is also easy to dial in, making it suitable for both experienced baristas and home coffee enthusiasts. You do not need to be a professional to prepare an excellent shot. With a consistent grind, fresh water, and a little adjustment to your dose and extraction time, this blend can produce a rich and satisfying espresso with impressive consistency.

 

For best results, use a fine espresso grind and adjust it according to your machine, basket, and preferred recipe. Quimera also performs well in moka pots and automatic espresso machines. When preparing milk-based drinks, its dark chocolate and peanut character cuts through the milk beautifully, creating a sweet, intense, and comforting beverage.

 

This coffee has already attracted attention as a finalist in the Flat White category of the Global Coffee Awards. Its bold profile, full body, and ability to pair exceptionally well with milk make it a natural choice for flat whites and other espresso-based drinks.

Quimera comes with a warning label: drink with caution. Its bold flavour, smooth body, and lingering sweetness may quickly become addictive. Roasted with care by Al-Gharb Coffee Roasters, this is an espresso blend for coffee drinkers who want confidence, character, and a little attitude in every cup.

    ​A Specialty Gem: 70/30 Blend Done to Absolute Perfection

    ​Specialty coffee’s 100% Arabica dogma often sacrifices body for acidity. Quimera is a rare gem that boldly breaks the mold, combining 70% specialty Arabica with 30% Fine Robusta.

    ​The result? Complex sweetness and clean fruit notes balanced by dark chocolate, rich texture, and a thick, velvety crema. It honors Portuguese heritage while elevating Fine Robusta to its rightful place.

    ​We need more high-grade blends like this. A masterclass in balance!

    Great Blend and Roast for our morning coffee

    We are loving Quimera (and receiving beans by mail). The taste is great, and the process (order on line, fast delivery via CTT) is convenient. Muito Obrigado!
