Roast Level: dark+ Region: south america, africa Processing Method: traditional washed Variety: caturra, colombia, typica, castillo, heirloom Cupping Profile: dark chocolate, smokey, bold, zero acidity and full-bodied "I'll never do a dark roast." Then introduced a dark roast Mexico and Honduras. "Ok, well I'm not gonna roast any darker than that." Now, introducing a Dark+ Roast, the Black Gold Blend. In my defense, we've received a lot of requests for something darker. We've been testing out several profiles and think this one is a great dark roast that doesn't go into the territory of burnt, over-bitter and ashy. It's heavy bodied, bold, has flavors of dark chocolate, and will cut through any milk you may want to add. Customers we've tested it out on have told us it's smoother and less bitter than their regular dark roast. This is due to us cutting off the roast just before it reaches that stage of darkness where those negative flavors come out. We think dark roast drinkers are gonna love this one. But that's it. We're not going any darker! Probably. Important Ordering & Pickup Information All customer orders are roasted every Tuesday.
