Dark, bold, and deeply satisfying — our French Roast takes our highest-scoring African coffees and pushes them to a deep, rich dark roast that delivers maximum intensity with a surprisingly smooth character. The Coffee: We start with only our top-rated African beans — coffees that score highest for quality, flavor complexity, and consistency. Using premium African origins for a dark roast means more underlying character survives the roast, giving this French Roast a depth that goes beyond typical dark roasts. The Roast: A deep dark roast that develops a signature shiny, oil-sheened bean — the hallmark of a true French roast. The oils drawn to the surface during roasting deliver rich, bold flavor and a luxuriously heavy body. The Flavor: Bold and richly dark with a bittersweet character and low acidity. Deeply roasted, smooth, and satisfying — a serious dark roast without the harsh bite. What to expect in the cup: Full-bodied, dark, and intensely flavored with a long, warm finish. The low acidity makes it surprisingly easy to drink even at this roast depth. Great for: French press, espresso, or Moka pot. Excellent black or with a splash of cream to bring out the bittersweet chocolate character.
