Indian Cherry Whole Bean Coffee from Verona 500g

Cherry refers not to the flavor, but to the plantation. India Cherry is a natural Arabica coffee grown in southern India, the most prestigious region of coffee production. This is a sweet, full-bodied coffee with a strong aroma.

Gianni seeks out the beans himself, then heads back to his tiny 1,500 square foot roastery in Verona. There, he uses an antique red roaster to prepare his artisan coffees. In one year, Gianni produces as much of his limited-yield coffee beans, as Starbucks does in one day. Espresso ground and vacuum sealed.

• Gianni Frasi is one of Italy's premier coffee roasters.

• Frasi produces in the same traditions as his uncle, who started the business in 1947.

• Frasi believes in small productions, and makes as much coffee in a year as Starbuck's makes in a day.
