Café Luciani
Imperial Coffee
£12.00
It was a glorious September morning when I stumbled across this wonderful roastery whilst wandering around the 13th arrondissement of Marseille. I was quaffing some Ricard when the smell of coffee dragged me by the nose to go and use my very basic A-Level French to speak to Jean-Baptiste and his team all about coffee. We were welcomed in like family and shown the whole process, including the original roaster from the 1940’s which still makes a satisfying ‘clunk’ everytime is moves around. After a bit of a chat we managed to strike a deal and get this coffee on the way… that was until I had one of the most stressful importing situations that I have ever experienced in my life…
However, some things are worth a bit of a chase, and this coffee was one of them. After much back-and-forth, a few near misses, and some very patient conversations in French, it is now official that we are the only people outside of Marseille to stock this magnificent coffee from Café Luciani. A family roaster that has been keeping Marseille awake and content for generations.
Café Impérial is a 100% Arabica blend from the high plateaus of Central America, with a delicate balance of floral and fruity notes that somehow still feels bold enough to stand up to a proper morning brew. It’s Luciani’s flagship coffee, and one sip will tell you why.
We have it available in 1 kg bags of whole beans for those who like to grind their own, and 250 g bags that are ground especially for your Moka pot or Neapolitan flip pot — mine and Jean-Baptiste Luciani’s favourite way to brew.
This one wasn’t easy to get hold of, and when it’s gone, it’s gone. So if you fancy a taste of Marseille from lovely Accrington, you know what to do.
