Taste profile
Vanilla, shortcrust pastry and dark chocolate
Lab #106 is not a harsh or overly bitter coffee. It is built around sweetness, balance and a clean dark chocolate finish, making it suitable for ordinary coffee lovers who want something more polished than supermarket beans.
Vanilla
Adds a soft sweetness that makes the coffee feel smooth and approachable.
Shortcrust pastry
Gives the blend a warm, bakery-like character that works well for breakfast coffee and office service.
Dark chocolate aftertaste
A pleasant finish that gives the coffee depth without making it aggressively bitter.
Best suited for
Home espresso, office coffee and lighter milk drinks
Lab #106 is a good choice if you want a smooth 100% Arabica coffee for espresso, long black, filter coffee or lighter milk drinks. It is especially suitable for home users and office planners who want a premium coffee that remains easy to drink.
Not the usual heavy espresso
Choose this when you want elegance over strength
Lab #106 is not designed to be the strongest coffee in the range. Its strength is balance: enough body for espresso, enough sweetness for casual drinkers, and a clean profile that feels more refined than ordinary office coffee.
