Made in Japan, Special Blend is part of AGF’s A Little Luxury Coffee Shop series. This freeze-dried instant coffee offers a well-balanced, full-bodied depth with a rich, fragrant aroma. Its satisfying coffee character makes it an excellent choice for drinking black, while its balanced acidity and bitterness also stand up well to milk and ice.
AGF carefully selects coffee beans from around the world according to their origin and seasonal characteristics. The beans are roasted using AGF’s proprietary process, extracted with soft water using an espresso method, then freeze-dried at approximately −40°C under vacuum to help preserve the aroma of freshly brewed coffee.
Special Blend is also a convenient ingredient for coffee jelly, tiramisu, custard, ganache, chocolate desserts, ice cream and gelato. Each 80g jar prepares approximately 40 servings.
40 servings of liquid joy await.
