This seasonal blend is a chance for our roasters to highlight their craft, rather than the bean's origin. In our opinion, a true dark roast should impart all of the positive characteristics of "roastiness" - intense chocolate and caramel notes, a smooth yet commanding mouthfeel, and a muted acidity with an undercurrent of pungency - with none of the negatives (smokiness, excessive bitterness, carbony notes). There is a very small window in which a roaster can put a stop to the roast before all is lost. We will strive to achieve that balance with each roast and we are proud to present this all new blend.
