Caffè Sansone x TRiCKETT
Rione Sanità Blend

You know when you just so happen to be in the right place at the right time? Well, I was in Napoli talking about coffee to my mate Inés (who just so happens to own the Atelier Inés B&B that you should stay at if you ever visit the greatest city on Earth) and she said that the very, very best coffee in the city was being made by a bloke called Vincenzo who was making it out of a tiny shop on the outskirts of the Spanish Quarters. She told me about how he selects the most in-season beans and prepares them to perfection in his micro-roastery which is just down the road. So when someone makes that kind of recommendation you have to go and check it out… And I am very glad that we did!

Vincenzo is a man that takes coffee very seriously, his tiny bar is dedicated to information about the varieties of beans and blends that he creates. He goes to great lengths to find the very best raw ingredients so that those who pop into the bar get the best taste experience possible. In short, Vincenzo has forgotten more than I know about coffee, so when we say that he knows his stuff… he really does. I visited, had an espresso, fell in love and the decided that we needed to make our own blend with him. Thankfully he agreed and came up with what I believe is the strongest coffee that we have ever made… in a good way.

This coffee is chocolately, rich, aromatic, low in acidity, super strong and makes you want to drink about five espressos per day, but please don’t do that (unless you are an experienced Neapolitan coffee drinker – Loris and Gaetano I am looking at you!). This is about as close as you can get to the perfect Neapolitan espresso without hopping on your scooter and visiting Vincenzo in person. The coffee is available in beans so you can pop them in your automatic machine or grind them exactly how you want them to be. Or you can go foe the ground version which is ground and blended specially for tour moka pot. The bags are finished with our custom artwork featuring the skulls from the famous Fontenelle cemetery which Rione Sanita is famous for, it is my favourite neighbourhood, purely because of the food options! So go on, treat yourself  to the best, you deserve it.
