French Roast Blend - Samba & Soul

Like a fusion of Brazilian dance and Ethiopian jazz, this name highlights both countries' energetic and vibrant cultures and the essence of this blend.

This is our French Roasted blend made from a combination of Brazilian and Ethiopian beans. It produces a unique and flavorful blend that combines the distinct characteristics of two renowned coffee-producing countries.

French roast is a dark roast level, where the beans are roasted until they reach a rich, dark brown color with an oily surface. This roasting process results in a bold, full-bodied coffee with a strong flavor profile and lower acidity. The roasting process can overshadow the beans' natural flavors, but some of their unique characteristics can still be noticed.

Brazilian beans are known for their nutty and chocolaty notes, with a low acidity and medium body. They often impart a creamy, smooth texture to the coffee.

On the other hand, Ethiopian beans are famous for their bright acidity, fruity and floral flavors, and complex aroma. Depending on the specific regions and processing methods, Ethiopian beans can exhibit various flavor profiles, from citrusy and tea-like to winey and berry-like.

When these two beans are combined in a French roast, the result is a harmonious blend that balances the bold, smoky, and robust flavors of the dark roast with the subtle nutty, chocolaty notes from the Brazilian beans and the bright, fruity, and floral undertones from the Ethiopian beans.

The coffee may have a heavy body and a creamy mouthfeel, with a lingering aftertaste that hints at the unique characteristics of both origins.
