Very Dark Roasts

Simply Sustainable, Darker Roast
A dark version of our organic, fair-trade blend (hearty Nicaraguan, mild Mexican, and slightly sharper Guatemalan beans at a variety of roasts). The Simply tastes familiar to many people because so many of the available beans on the market come from the Central/South American region. However, it lacks the sweetness associated with Indonesian beans and the zest of African coffee.

The Arabian Knight
Deep & spicy: tasty, zingy Red Sea offset with mild, full-bodied beans from Guatemala and Nicaragua.

Deeply Organic
Full-bodied, rich, and hearty. One of our most popular blends. 100% organic and fairly traded.

Espresso Blend
A darker version of Oso's original Selkirk Blend (that's 1/3 zesty African, 1/3 smooth Indonesian, and 1/3 full-bodied Central/ South American). Well-rounded with an Ethiopian edge. 100% organic and fairly traded.

A Note on Espresso Beans
People often ask us for a specific espresso blend. We do offer The Espresso Blend, but you can make espresso with any type of roast or blend. It's the brewing method—hot water forced through very finely ground beans—that creates thick, concentrated espresso coffee. On the West Coast of North America, people generally prefer dark-roasted beans for espresso; in Eastern North America, and also in many European countries, lighter roasts are more common. We suggest using your favourite beans, whether they're light, dark, or in the middle.

Prince of Darkness
Very dark and loud with a hint of spiciness. Full-bodied Central American, a handful of spicy Ethiopian, and a snicker of crisp,
light, Centrals. The Prince & the Princess are equally dark. 100% organic and fairly traded.

Princess of Darkness
Very dark, but sweeter and smoother than the Prince. Full-bodied Colombian Supremo and sweet, yummy Sulawesi. Fairly traded.
