OUR PROCESS
To create, the beans are gently roasted to a medium-dark level to allow the aromas and rich taste to stay preserved for a unique flavour profile. The sweetness of this luxury coffee blend results in a delicate and chocolaty taste.
Designed for hotels, restaurants and cafés, the concept also includes a contemporary 1862 espresso cup created in collaboration with renowned Italian designer Matteo Thun. An elegant matte black cup with unfinished golden brushstrokes adorned with the brand’s famous logo, it is inspired by Viennese café culture and Julius Meinl’s 1862 recipe.
Combining traditional and modern design, the 1862 experience is completed by innovative Aroma Fez packaging, which boasts three individual chambers that can be opened individually to ensure the same exquisite taste with every serving.
