Queen City's everyday blend is super sweet and suprisingly dynamic. We taste creamy milk chocolate alongside juicy tangerines and a hint of vanilla.

Understanding roast levels

Roast level affects both flavor and body. Here's what to expect from each.

Light

Best for: those that prize delicate flavors and a tea-like feel above intensity.

Light-Medium

Best for: those that enjoy juicy acidity and gently caramelized sugars.

Medium

Best for: those that enjoy caramelized sugars and a smooth cup.

Medium-Dark

Best for: those looking for classic coffee flavors with a kiss of roast.

Dark

Best for: those that love intense, smoky flavor and a full body above all else.

Trade Tip

Roasters don’t always agree on roast level — one roaster’s dark might look the same as another’s medium. We taste and assign every coffee our own roast level, so your matches stay consistent no matter who roasted them.

    Berry Forward

    Wow! This one's berry flavors absolutely punch forward. My first sip was genuinely surprising. This is close to herbal tea levels of berry, except with a foundational backdrop of coffee instead of herbs. It isn't subtle. It's also delicious, hot or cold.

    Great Everyday Coffee

    Great coffee from a great roaster. Their single origin coffees are superb. This one is great everyday coffee, delicious, fruit froward. I highly recommend it to anyone who like high tone coffees.

    Sweet and tart

    A great light/medium roast that is sweet with tart acidity. Would recommend as a daily cup or a weekend treat.
