Understanding roast levels

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

Medium

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

Medium-Dark

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.

    Bitter fall from grace

    I loved this coffee in 2025, bright, flora, with powerful aromatics and a blueberry kicker. But man, 2026 is a completely different experience. To its credit, this Guji manages a rather intense favor reminiscent of bolder, darker coffees in a lighter package. There is no fruit, no sweetness, no brightness. Up front, it's nice. Think Peet's big bang. But it's totally unbalanced; see prior note about what it lacks. What's worse, and what's unforgivable, is the finish. If I'm being generous, I'd describe it as bitter earth. If I'm being frank, I'd describe it as warm, bitter garbage. Like refuse. And it lingers painfully long. It's acrid and acid finish is quite the cruel trick, and man I miss the magic of yesterday. A significant disappointment, and I'm eager for whatever bag is coming next. What a bummer.

    Hi Kevin! Thanks so much for the detailed review - we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're so sorry this year's batch didn't live up to last year's magic. Coffee is an agricultural product, and each harvest can taste quite different, but that doesn't make the experience any less disappointing. Our Customer Experience Team has reached out via email and we'd love to make this right for you!
