French Roast

From the roaster

Ultra Dark French Roast Smoky. Bold. Sweet Finish. The true dark side — big body, smoky depth and a surprisingly sweet finish. This is the true Dark Side. This roast demands meticulous observation because the line between a French roast and over-roasted beans is extremely fine. Specialty-grade beans from Baarbara Estate and Thogarihunkal Estate are roasted separately and blended post-roast for balance, structure and consistency. The roast profile touches the sweet spot of second crack, developing dark, smoky wood undertones while preserving a relatively high level of sweetness. Built for those who enjoy coffee with a smoky character, big body and a bold, satisfying finish.
