Nobletree Coffee
Premium Gourmet Coffee
Imperial Espresso Roast
Roast Level: Espresso
Tasting Notes: Chocolate, Hazelnut, and Sweet
Body Notes: Clean and sweet with low acidity
The Nobletree Imperial Espresso Dark Roast coffee hails from the finest coffee cherries of the year’s harvest. The coffee cherries are grown 3,500 feet above sea level under shade on terraced soil on the award-winning Santa Izabel and Monte Verde Nobletree Farms in Brazil. The 100% Arabica beans are hand-picked when they are at their ripest and traced through the supply chain, through the small-batch roasting process, to when they are packed for sale and shipped directly to your doorstep.
The Imperial Espresso Roast has a clean, sweet body and low acidity. The rich notes of chocolate, hazelnut, and brown spice are highly balanced and well-rounded with a clean delicate finish. This high-quality dark roast coffee is both Rainforest Alliance and Fair Trade USA Certified.

Origin
Process
These Arabica yellow bourbon beans are picked by hand to deliver the ripest cherries. They were naturally processed by our post-harvest team, who rigorously monitor their progress. Our post-harvest team utilizes state-of-the-art tractors, wet and dry method processing, and BSCA grading. Each team member is responsible for only one step in the process, and all are well trained and add value to our supply chain.
Sustainability
Fazenda Santa Izable engages in socio-environmental practices that support our farming community as well as preserves the quality of each crop. Offering courses and workshops for small local farmers/producers in the region, we provide them with tools and knowledge to improve and reinvest in their crops, move outside of the standards of industry pricing, and sell their beans at a higher price, allowing them to reinvest and grow in their community. With our vertically integrated supply chain, our farmers and workers cultivate and grow coffee with patience and skill, knowing that their hard work and innovation will be recognized and enjoyed.
