Designed for precision brewing, Vittoria Lab Release Blend No. 58 is an ultra-premium specialty coffee. This exclusive release is the result of collaborative development with Australia’s leading baristas to push the boundaries of seasonal specialty coffee.
Aromas and Flavour: What to Expect in the Cup
When you enjoy a cup of Blend No. 58, you can expect sweet notes like malt, maple syrup and milk chocolate, and a brighter note of fresh raspberry that adds ‘zing’ to the profile without overwhelming it.
To best preserve the aromas, store your beans in airtight container that is kept in a cool, dark and dry place. We recommend consuming the beans within 2-3 weeks of opening the bag; the sooner, the better to get the full experience.

Other ways to enjoy Blend No. 58 coffee
While this coffee is delicious without additions, those seeking a silkier texture than straight espresso may enjoy this blend as a latte or other milky coffee.
The mellow sweetness of the natural profile and medium roast level lends a smooth finish to lattes, while the raspberry is just bright enough to retain complexity without giving the ‘sour’ taste other more citrus-forward profiles can have when combined with milk.
If precise espresso extraction isn’t your preferred at-home coffee method, you can also brew this blend with a French press.

Composition and Origins
Lab Release blends are a balanced, nuanced combination of seasonal, specialty coffee beans from our network of farmers and growers. This exclusive edition, Blend No. 58, contains beans from Colombia, Brazil and Sumatra.
Colombian Sidra Coffee
Sidra is a high-end, rare hybrid variety known for deep sweetness with common notes of stone fruit, citrus, berries, and often with a floral finish. For this blend, we went with the best of the best – Campo Hermoso.
The cherries are selectively harvested when the sugar content is beyond 24 brix, ensuring their characteristic sweetness is present, before they go through soaking and anaerobic fermentation in a process like winemaking.

“Love this new lab release blend… super smooth and velvety. Can’t get enough. I have tried so many different type in my home machine, these are far superior than the rest.”
“WOW nice to taste and enjoy a perfect mix. All coffee beans should have the notes of chocolate and raspberry especially in a latte. I have been trying to find a blend like this for many years and have come across it a couple of times and I am so happy to have found it with Victoria. Thanks to all at Vittoria.”
