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.

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.

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—steam 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.

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