Built for this water
Leucosia
Soft water arrives almost empty and leaves the cup thin, sharp at the edges, short in the middle. Leucosia is roasted longer and blended heavier to put back what the water will not carry: weight, sweetness, a low finish that holds.
Leucosia — the blend for soft water, below 8.4 °dH →Against the SCA target zone
Abu Dhabi falls inside the zone the SCA Water Chart marks as its target (2.8–6.2 °dH) — unusual enough among the cities we publish to be worth saying.
