Developing Our Seasonal Blend

Roast Type: Espresso Roast
(Espresso Machine, Moka Pot or French Press)

Gianluca Mereu (Head Coffee Roaster & Greenbean Buyer):
“When finding the right ratio, aroma and taste for this coffee, I wanted to create something that our customers would love. Keeping it sweet, balanced and removing any acidity. Many customers love adding milk to their espresso, so it needed to compliment that. 

This house blend, The Dark Horse coffee, was made for someone who loves strong, sweet and well-balanced coffee that compliments milky coffee drinks. Ideal for those brewing using a French Press, Moka pot or Espresso machines.

While our coffee changes seasonally our ethos to deliver the highest quality seasonal coffee with the signature Bear taste!
