Ispirazione Palermo Kazaar review
Origin: a blend of Robusta and Latin American Arabica coffee Intensity: 12 Roasting: 5 Order: Buy Ispirazione Palermo Kazaar at Amazon Dark brown foam.

We doubt this actually reflects the preferences of italians as distributed in the cities giving the name to the new line though. An oversimplification for marketing reasons.
