Italian Roast-Dark Roast

Smoky • Intense • Smooth Dark Chocolate Finish

Italian Roast is our deepest, boldest expression of dark roasting — a rich, full‑bodied coffee crafted for drinkers who want intensity without bitterness. Slow‑roasted to a deep mahogany, this blend delivers that classic European dark‑roast profile: smoky, robust, and satisfyingly smooth.

This is the cup that wakes you up with purpose.

Tasting Notes

• Dark Chocolate — rich, smooth, and slightly bittersweet

• Smoked Caramel — warm, roasted sweetness

• Toasted Almond — subtle nutty depth

• Charred Oak — classic Italian‑style smokiness

Roast Profile

A true dark roast, taken just past second crack to develop bold flavor, deep color, and a smooth, lingering finish. Low acidity, full body, and a clean, powerful taste.

What Makes It Special

Temecula’s Italian Roast is crafted in small batches, allowing the roaster to push the beans to their boldest expression without burning or flattening the flavor. The result is a dark roast that’s strong and smoky, yet still balanced and drinkable.

No bitterness. No harsh edges. Just pure, dark‑roast satisfaction.
