Roast Level: Dark

So you’re expecting some lame pun about Napoleon, the Eiffel Tower, or berets? Well sometimes life hands you a welcome and refreshing surprise. Case in point; the OVC French Roast. This coffee is deep, smokey, and rich with flavors of bittersweet chocolate, vanilla, and a touch of peppercorn. But most importantly, though it is our darkest coffee, it is complex and not nearly as dominated by roast flavors as most blends representing this style. Tres bien! (Sorry, it slipped..)

Our French Roast Blend is a coffee that we are quite proud. It has been well received and continues to be a favorite of many. The blend took us months to get just right and many attempts were scrapped in favor of the final product we have today. We blended with beans from Indonesia and Central America to get just the right mix of what we were looking for in a darker roast. The Indonesian coffee lends itself to a deep syrupy body, dark chocolate notes, and a hint of black pepper. The Central American coffee brings smoothness as well as hints of vanilla and a subtle sweetness to the blend. In the cup, all of these flavors come together harmoniously to bring you a delicious dark roast cup of coffee—yum!

If deep, dark and delicious coffees are your thing, then we urge you to try this blend. It will cut through the fog of early morning brain numbness as well as restore your to serenity when you need it most.

Food Pairing: It goes well with just about anything, but works well with rich French pastries.
