French Roast
A deep, dark roast crafted from our highest‑scoring African lots, roasted to amplify body, bittersweet complexity, and a commanding presence in the cup. These small‑batch beans develop a glossy, oil‑sheened surface during roasting—a visual cue to the intense caramelization and concentrated flavors within. The result is a bold, rich coffee with low acidity that drinks smooth and powerful from the first sip to the lingering finish.
The aroma is intense roasted cocoa, toasted caramel, and a faint smoky sweetness that greets the nose. The taste is a dominant bittersweet chocolate and dark caramel notes, layered with roasted nut and a whisper of molasses. The acidity is low and restrained, providing balance without brightness so the roast‑forward flavors remain center stage.
For a finish that is long, clean, and slightly dry with a pleasant roasted bitterness that invites another sip that is full and velvety, offering a heavy, satisfying weight that carries flavor across the palate.
