ABOUT THIS COFFEE
xRich, well-balanced and lively, Alto has a blackcurrant fragrance, maple syrup flavours and a sweet burnt caramel aftertaste. Each of the single origin beans in the Alto blend have been separately tracked and graded from their farm to ensure they meet the Rainforest Alliance standards. For coffee to be given rights to use the RFA stamp it must prove several factors that fall under Rainforest Alliance certification, including environmental sustainability, ethical practices and fair labour. The secret to Merlo Coffee's rich, balanced flavour is the roasting profile that our team follow. Learn more about the Merlo roasting process.
