    DESCRIPTION

    Origin: Indonesia, Central America
    Profile: Bakers Chocolate & Burnt Sugar
    Strength: 5/5
    Aroma: Sweet & Intense
    Body: Full & Heavy
    Finish: Lingering

    A sublime blend of Indonesian and Central American blend is brought to our darkest roast. The high altitude allows us to develop the caramelized within our French Roast at a lower temperature creating deep, rich flavors without the inherent bitterness associated with dark roast coffees. The cup profile contains a sweet aroma of caramel inside a heavy body with intense notes of smoked vanilla and dark cocoa.

    ROASTED AT ALTITUDE

    All our beans are roasted on-site in the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. At high altitude, the lower roasting temperatures allow the natural sugars in the coffee beans to caramelize slowly. This unique process creates deep, rich flavor profiles and smooth textures — without the bitterness.

    RESPONSIBLY SOURCED

    At VMCT, we take pride in fostering direct relationships with growers to ensure that every coffee bean and tea leaf we source is responsibly cultivated. We’re committed to ethical, organic, and sustainable practices, understanding that certification standards can vary across the globe. That’s why we go the extra mile to research and verify that our producers meet rigorous organic and bio-dynamic farming standards. For us, it’s not just about great coffee and tea — it’s about honoring the land and the people who bring it to life.
