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.

ABOUT THE ROASTER

Boxcar

Boulder, CO
Partnered with Trade since 2018
Founded in 2010 by Cara and Vajra Rich, Boxcar — which is named for '30s race cars—roasts on the front range of the Rocky Mountains. That rugged Colorado landscape comes through in its scrappy can-do attitude and its perfect high-altitude coffees.
Fun Fact
This Rocky Mountain roaster developed its Boilermaker brewing method to combat the challenges of making high-altitude coffee.

    All around great cup. French press, not a hint of bitterness.

    Juicy with full body

    I rested for about 2 weeks. It looks like a blend with some typical larger Colombian beans and maybe some smaller heirloom varietals. I brewed in a switch with an Ode Gen 2 and 1:15 ratio.

    Hot off the brew, it gave me a heavier, chocolate body with some brighter fruity apple notes on the nose. No bitterness or astringency though. After cooling, the cup opened up to be even juicier on the tongue, but still kept a more chocolate finish. Really nice cup if you enjoy fruit forward cups that maintain a full body. Definitely worth a try!
