Single Origin Brazil

Not as full as I was expecting.

If the beans on the left (Pacific Spirit) are dark roast, then how can the beans on the right (Single Origin Brazil) be dark roast as well? Either something is wrong with the marketing or the roasters aren't properly hitting their 2nd crack time markers on the Brazil beans. What gives? You make a decent product but your "dark roasts" are all over the place. Pacific Spirit is the only true dark roast you offer, with Mountain Gems Organic Sumatra a close second (medium dark?!). Also, as a specialty coffee roaster you should be using a roasted on date, not a best before date, which is a grocery store standard.

If you like a bold coffee, this is for you.

I bought this coffee to serve outdoors at a community gathering and BBQ. I brewed it with a Bonavita batch drip brewer then served from a thermal carafe. I received very positive feedback from everyone at the event. They loved it no matter how they drank theirs; black, with milk or cream, sweetened or unsweetened. Personally I find it a little less full bodied than my preferred regular bean, but it has a very pleasant, easy drinking flavour. It's a good balanced roast level, a perfect medium dark.

I had previous experience with this blend as a semi-regular customer at a Toronto cafe where it's the house coffee. So I knew that I was safe going with it as a "crowd pleaser".

This is a great coffee for everyday. The aroma and taste can be described as strong and bold, giving you the coffee kick needed to get you ready for your day.
Nothing beats freshly ground coffee - so if you have a machine that grinds it first- it truly brings out the best taste of all.
