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.

The water in Lisbon runs from 39 ppm to 170 ppm — a spread of 130 ppm that crosses Soft → Medium. That is not imprecision: a city this size is served by several waterworks, and the average describes no tap in particular. Check which works supplies your street before you trust a city figure, ours included.
