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.

    Nice

    Beautifully balanced Kenyan. There's a tartness that hits the palate nicely, allowing the plum and currant notes to penetrate and give a depth of flavor.
