Strong, intense flavor, yet smooth with a creamy, heavy body .

The French traditionally prefer the lighter roasts, so it's curious that America's darkest coffee is called French Roast. The name refers to a distinct roasting style that lures the oil to the surface of the bean and creates a dark, robust flavor. The roastmaster's art is to walk the fine line between dark and too dark, concentrating flavor without producing bitterness. This coffee will appeal to those who like depth and richness in their foods. If you love dark chocolate or forty year old Port, our Classic French Roast could be your favorite coffee.
