The story of Caffe Verona®. This is a coffee of one true love, and three names. We created it for a seattle restaurant in 1975, as Jake's Blend. People loved it so much we bagan hand scooping it in our stores as 80-20 blend, after the recipe. The love was so strong we finally made it official, calling it Verona after the city that inspires so many. Testing notes. Roasty sweet & dark cocoa
