OUR COFFEE PROGRAM
Whether consumed straight up, with steamed milk or as an affogato, our coffee drinks are inspired by Italian espresso-based offerings. Each drink is made with expertly steamed milk, as well as, oat, almond or soy milk upon request.
We partner with Vigilante Coffee, a local DC roaster that sources high-quality beans directly from farms all over the world, maintaining strict standards every step of the way. Pitango shares Vigilante’s passion for its craft and its uncompromising commitment to quality.
Fortunata | Espresso
Unlike single-origin brews, espresso requires a blend of coffees; each variety in the blend creates one facet of the flavor profile. We combined Brazilian, Indonesian and Ethiopian beans for a unique flavor profile. Named for Noah Dan’s Italian grandmother, Fortunata features notes of fruit and honey along with a nutty and toasty flavor. It is strong and feisty, but never bitter.
Matrimonio | Drip Coffee
Our Matrimonio blend is a marriage of two incredible single-origin coffees. Vigilante Coffee directly sources and blends these two varieties exclusively for Pitango. By combining Brazilian Capim Seco and Ecuadorian Alambi coffee, we achieve a classic taste for this new third-wave coffee approach. Medium-roasted Matrimonio is a rich, smooth blend with notes of milk chocolate, almond, caramel, and a buttery finish.
Dolcenera | Cold Brew
Named after a popular Italian song about a sweet, dark and tempestuous tryst, Dolcenera, or “sweet and dark” perfectly describes our cold brew. Created exclusively for Pitango by Vigilante, this South American blend is made up of natural-process Brazilian and washed-process Ecuadorian coffees.
