Perfectly roasted French Roast beans are very dark, slightly beyond dark roast and can sometimes include natural oils from the beans, offering a strong bold flavor. Coffee beans include origins such as Colombia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala and Tanzania.

French roast coffee is a dark roasted coffee that is characterized by its deep, rich flavor and smoky, bittersweet taste. It is made from high-quality Arabica coffee beans that are roasted at a high temperature for a longer period of time than other roast levels, which results in a very dark, almost black bean with a shiny, oily surface.

French roast coffee has a very distinctive flavor profile that is different from other roast levels. The extended roasting time caramelizes the natural sugars in the coffee beans, creating a bold, complex flavor that is both bitter and sweet. The smoky taste is a result of the high roasting temperature, which can cause the beans to smoke and even char.

Because French roast coffee is so dark and rich, it is often enjoyed with cream or sugar to balance out the bitterness. It is also popular in espresso drinks, as the dark, bold flavor stands up well to the milk and foam of a latte or cappuccino.

French roast coffee is often associated with European coffee traditions and is a popular choice for those who enjoy a strong, flavorful cup of coffee. It is a great choice for anyone who enjoys a bold coffee experience and is looking for a way to add some depth and richness to their morning cup of joe.
