What Makes Our Dark Roast Stand Out
Every roast tells a story. Our dark roast coffee is roasted just past the second crack — where caramelized sugars and natural oils come to the surface, creating that rich aroma and deep, chocolate-toned body. Each batch is roasted to order, ensuring you taste the bold, smooth flavor exactly as intended.

Dark Roast Coffee FAQs
What makes dark roast coffee bold?
Dark roasts reach a slightly higher temperature during roasting, allowing natural sugars to caramelize and create deep, smoky flavors with a heavier body.
Is dark roast stronger than medium roast?
Not necessarily in caffeine — dark roasts have a bolder taste but slightly less caffeine by volume. The flavor strength comes from caramelization, not caffeine content.
How should I brew dark roast coffee?
Dark roasts shine in French press, espresso, or drip brewing. Avoid over-extraction for a smoother, less bitter cup.
