12oz French Roast Coffee

French Roast is the darkest roast on the planet. We begin with a quintessential Costa Rican coffee that can stand up to the heat and intensity of a French Roast. The French dark roast coffee beans from The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf has an intense flavor combination of caramelized sugars, a hint of chocolate and a deeply smoky flavor.

Product Description

Profile: Deep roasted flavor with a smoky aroma and dark chocolaty finish. The nutty yet slightly bright flavor of these coffees is complemented by the intense caramelization of the sugars locked in the beans.
Place: Central Plateau, Costa Rica, Chiapas, Mexico
People: Our passionate suppliers are deeply concerned with the social and economic condition of their local communities. They are active participants in programs designed to benefit youth, and other needy segments of the farming sector in rural areas. Central America is economically challenged and our support of their premium coffees at fair prices helps to infuse revenue into their region.
Process: The coffee is handpicked, washed, naturally fermented, and fully sun dried. French roast is the darkest roast that we do. It results in a very large deep brown bean covered in thick oil. We stop the roast before the bean can develop any of the unpleasant burnt taste that can result in over-roasting.
Pairing: Chocolate brownie.
