Big roasty flavor and still a lot of sweetness? That's a sure sign of high quality sourcing and roasting. Salute the queen.

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.

Fun Fact
There’s not really a rhyme or reason to the names of Sightseer’s coffees. It’s just that, it’ll make sense when you drink it.

    Noticeable light notes for a dark roast

    I love my deep, chocolaty coffees, (and this certainly is one) but Killer Queen also has this lightness to it that I'm not used to getting outside of cafes! A lovely change of pace

    A really nice cup. If you like this, Try Season of the Witch and Bat City, also from Sightseer.

    Divine aroma!

    This is a very nice medium-dark coffee. It is not super dark like a French roast.

    The aroma from this coffee is absolutely wonderful! Once brewed, I find it slightly acidic,

    But still very tasty. and I love that the Roastery is women owned and staffed!
