Tasting Notes: Bittersweet chocolate, toasted almonds, toffee.  

Looking for a dark roast with nuanced flavor? This washed coffee from Chiapas, Mexico is roasted with a calibrated focus on time and temp to bring out our darkest profile yet. It's bold and toasty (but never burnt), and meant to be sipped from a diner mug in a vinyl booth or a stainless mug on your morning walk. Dark roast lovers, this one's for you.

Water Avenue Coffee's Rogue Valley Dark Roast showcases a washed Mexican bean from Chiapas, developed to emphasize deeper, sweeter characteristics. The roaster draws out bittersweet chocolate, toasted almonds, and toffee—a flavor profile typical of darker roasts where caramelization dominates the cup. Washed coffees like this one tend toward clarity and balance, though a dark roast will naturally shift emphasis toward roast-derived sweetness and body. This makes it well-suited to espresso or milk-based preparations where those chocolatey, nutty notes can shine alongside dairy.
