Siren Song | Dark Roast Coffee
A Bold Tribute to Classic Dark Roasts
An ode to the dark roasted coffees from the bigger brands that first sparked our love of great coffee, this roast is a tribute to the deep, full-bodied cups that introduced so many of us to espresso drinks, lattes, and cappuccinos. It’s the darkest roast we do—crafted in the spirit of European-style espresso and rich, smoky brews that shaped the modern coffee experience.
Sourced from Catuai varietal beans grown at 1,450 meters above sea level, this roast delivers everything fans of bold coffee crave! Notes of dark chocolate lead the way, layered with hints of caramelized sugar and slight essence of earthy undertones and pipe tobacco. The high elevation adds structure and clarity, while the deep roast ensures a velvety body and low acidity.
Whether enjoyed as a straight shot of espresso, brewed strong and black, or mellowed with milk, this dark roast coffee offers a dependable, robust cup with roots in tradition and flavor that satisfies every time.
