This Familia Original Espresso blend is a dynamic fusion of boldness and sweetness, combining the deep intensity of African Robusta with the enticing sweetness of Latin American Arabica. The beans are slow-roasted to a dark perfection, resulting in a full-bodied flavour explosion with deep notes of dark chocolate complemented by subtle spicy notes. When brewed, these beans consistently deliver a luxurious golden crema, the unmistakable sign of a high-quality espresso. Cafe Direct goes beyond fair trade, reinvesting 50% of their profits back into Producers Direct, directly empowering the communities who cultivate these incredible beans and fostering sustainable practices for a better future.

Price of goods and delivery charges
- The prices of the Goods will be as quoted in our formal offer to sell you the Goods (prices on our website, in our printed catalogues or elsewhere may have been superseded).
- We may, by giving you notice at any time before delivery, increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods that is due to:
- any factor beyond our control (including without limitation foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes, levies, or duties, increases in freight, transport, minimum import price, insurance, landing or warehousing charges, and increases in labour, materials and other manufacturing costs); or
- any request by you to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered.
- The price of Goods excludes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Goods in full before the change in VAT takes effect.
- The price of the Goods does not include delivery charges. Often we do not charge for delivery, but we reserve the right to do so. In those cases where a delivery charge will be applied, this will be stated in our formal offer to supply the Goods, and we will not proceed to delivery without your express acceptance of the offer.

Unless a promotion is expressed to be ‘while stocks last', a promotion will run from the 1 st day of the relevant period until 5.00 p.m. on the last working day of the period, and promotions are applied based on the time and date of your order, not the date of delivery or collection.
