PureGusto Valentia Coffee Beans
Twice Awarded 3-Star Great Taste Coffee
Dark Chocolate | Blackberry | Blueberry | Cherry | Rich & Syrupy
Discover PureGusto Valentia, an exceptional medium roast coffee created for those who expect considerably more from their cup.
Rich, beautifully balanced and wonderfully aromatic, Valentia combines coffees from Sumatra, Brazil, Costa Rica, Colombia and Nicaragua to produce a distinctive flavour profile bursting with dark forest fruits, chocolate and natural sweetness.
The cup opens with ripe cherry and juicy blackberry before developing notes of blueberry, dark chocolate and stone fruit. A rich, syrupy body carries these flavours into a long, clean and beautifully balanced finish.
It is a coffee with enough complexity to impress the serious coffee drinker, yet enough sweetness and balance to become an everyday favourite.
And its quality has been independently recognised at the very highest level.
Valentia is a two-time 3-Star Great Taste Award winner and has achieved an exceptional SCA cup score of 92.5/100.

Exceptional Black. Outstanding with Milk.
Finding a coffee that performs equally well as a straight espresso and through milk is not easy. This versatility is one of Valentia's greatest strengths.
As an espresso, expect concentrated dark fruit, chocolate sweetness and a rich syrupy mouthfeel.
As an Americano, the fruit character opens beautifully, revealing greater clarity and complexity.
Add milk and Valentia becomes wonderfully smooth and creamy. Its blackberry, cherry and chocolate notes remain present rather than disappearing beneath the milk, making it particularly impressive in shorter milk-based drinks.
For us, the Flat White is the standout serve. The combination of intense espresso, textured milk and Valentia's natural sweetness creates an exceptionally smooth and satisfying cup.

Twice Awarded 3-Star Great Taste
Great Taste 3 Stars represents the highest level of recognition awarded within the Great Taste judging system.
Valentia has achieved this distinction twice.
The recognition reflects precisely what makes this coffee special: its balance, complexity, fruit character, chocolate depth, mouthfeel and ability to remain expressive when served with milk.
For cafes and hospitality businesses, that gives you something particularly powerful to put on your menu:
A genuinely award-winning coffee your customers can taste for themselves.
92.5 SCA Cup Score
Valentia has also achieved an exceptional 92.5/100 SCA cup score, reinforcing its position as one of the premium coffees within the PureGusto collection.
Its combination of carefully selected origins creates complexity without sacrificing accessibility. There is plenty for an experienced coffee drinker to discover, while its natural sweetness and chocolate character make it equally appealing to customers who simply want a fantastic cup of coffee.
Carefully Selected Multi-Origin Blend
Valentia brings together carefully selected coffees from:
Sumatra | Brazil | Costa Rica | Colombia | Nicaragua
Each origin contributes something different to the finished cup, allowing us to create greater depth and balance than relying on one flavour characteristic alone.
The result is a coffee built around sweetness, dark fruit, chocolate and body, with enough brightness to keep every sip lively and interesting.
Convection Roasted in the UK
Exceptional green coffee deserves careful roasting.
Valentia is convection roasted in the UK, using carefully controlled hot air to achieve an exceptionally even roast.
We deliberately take Valentia to a medium roast. This develops the body, sweetness and chocolate characteristics required for espresso while preserving the distinctive fruit notes that make the blend so special.
The objective is not simply to roast darker for strength.
It is to find the point where sweetness, acidity, body and flavour are in balance.
That is Valentia.
An Exceptional House Coffee for Cafes
For professional operators, Valentia has another important advantage: versatility.
Rather than requiring separate coffees for customers ordering espresso, Americano and milk-based drinks, Valentia has been developed to perform across the menu.
Its strong flavour identity also gives cafes something meaningful to communicate to customers. Instead of simply offering "house coffee", you can serve a twice 3-Star Great Taste Award-winning coffee with a 92.5 SCA cup score.
That provides a powerful premium story from bean to cup.

Our Recommended Serve
Valentia Flat White
Extract Valentia as a rich double espresso before combining with finely textured steamed milk.
The smaller milk-to-coffee ratio allows the blackberry, cherry and chocolate notes to remain clearly defined while the milk enhances the coffee's natural sweetness and creamy mouthfeel.
The result is rich, silky and exceptionally moreish.
