The Roast
Dark and Smoky, Without the Burn.
Our French Roast is fired on CR's antique Royal drum roasters, then finished with a tighter airflow that traps a touch more smoke inside the drum. The result is a bold, aromatic cup that is dark roast but not as dark as you think, with smooth depth instead of char. The Royal No. 6 drums spin slowly, letting sugars caramelize before the beans ever get oily. Fans who thought they "didn't like dark roast" keep coming back; the cup is rich, full-bodied, and finishes clean.
