Cape Town Envivo Lungo Review
The new 2021 blend for the classic Envivo Lungo that looks at Cape Town as inspiration for its renewed taste profile. Dark brown foam. Not a coffee with an intense aroma. Nuts, walnuts primarily, are the main characteristic of the smell, along with a distinct woodiness. Definitely a dark roasted coffee. More intense at the taste, full of caramel, liquorice but devoid of any sweetness. Dry, with a full body.

Envivo Lungo review
Origin: dark roasted, washed, Robusta from Mexico along with Arabica from India. Intensity: 9 Bitterness: 4 Acidity: 1 Body: 4 Roasting: 4 Order: Buy Envivo Lungo capsules at Amazon Dark brown foam. Delightful roasted/woody aroma. A low acidity and medium bodied cup. Woody and cocoa flavours predominant, with bitterness that is at first balanced but more pronounced in the aftertaste. Some gingerbread can be discerned but we personally barely found it. A strong, dark roast with a wood/cocoa skew, for a medium cup.
