![]() ![]() These blends are the dark-brown color of chocolate and have a shimmer of oil on their surface which can appear in the cup when brewed. Some might even term this an “espresso roast” and many of our favorite coffees for espresso are roasted to this level. Delectable drinks of all desires can be concocted from these blends: Bruin Blend ® Coffee, Organic Bruin Blend ® Coffee, Skookum ® Blend, Skookum ® Blend Decaf, Resurrection Blend ® Coffee, and Organic Resurrection Blend ® Coffee. These blends bring together the flavors of the bean and the browning tastes from roasting. The coffee appears dark, the oils are just starting to emerge from the beans, sugars are more developed, and the flavors from the roasting process are more fully present. Perched just before a Dark Roast is the Full City Roast. Some of our most cherished blends are fully developed at this stage: Misty Fjords™ Coffee, Santa Caws™ Coffee, and Organic Raven’s Brew ® House Blend Decaf. The coffee flavors are more developed than in a Light Roast, the body is heavier, hints of spiciness start to develop, and flavors and aromas from the roasting process come to the surface. Medium Roast is the optimal level for many blends where the flavor of the bean is accentuated more than the toastiness of the roast. For those seeking a way to lift the fog from their eyes, we recommend Breakfast Blend. However, a few coffees fare well with this roast level and have a bright, eye-opening sassiness to them with just a touch of sweet. Many coffees do not develop well at this stage, tending to be acidic or even astringent, and sometimes featuring strong grassy or vegetable tastes. We boldly admit that our Light Roast is on the darker-side of this description. Our roasting methods insure that our beans are never scorched-even when taken to the darkest levels of roast. Roasting coaxes a panoply of flavors and aromas from the depth of the bean while layering in toasty, warming notes. ![]() Roast-Level Descriptions Our goal at Raven’s Brew is to find the perfect intersection between flavorful bean and roast level for each of our blends. ![]()
