FLAVOR NOTES: dark chocolate, buttery, peppercorn

"French Roast" has had a place in coffee drinking both past and present and was officially coined in the 19th century as a signature dark roast style. At Ciel, we roast to showcase the sweetness and complexity of all our coffee offerings and this result can only be achieved through combining the highest quality green coffee with deliberate creation of optimal roast profiles. In the dark roasting of coffee beans, coffee sweetness appears only for a few seconds within the roasting process before the delicate flavors literally go up in smoke. At Ciel, through expert roasting and careful attention to detail we have achieved our typical sweetness in the cup while still maintaining an intense, earthy and flavorful bean. Our signature "DARK ROAST BLEND" pays homage to the many varied, influential and inspiring coffee lovers our founder has encountered in her 30-year journey of traveling, sourcing, roasting and sharing cups of coffee.
