French Roast

Simply classic. This timeless blend allows the roaster to “sign” each coffee, in this case from Central America and South America, by delicately prolonging the roast to maximize the process of carmelization.

Flavor Notes:  Smoky + Roasty + Classic

Roast Level:  Dark

The French Roast from Coffee By Design represents a traditional approach to coffee preparation, blending beans sourced from across Central and South America. By pushing the roast profile to a darker level, the roaster emphasizes deep, carbonized characteristics rather than the delicate acidity often found in lighter roasts. In the industry, such roasts are frequently categorized by their bold, intense profiles, which prioritize a heavy mouthfeel and a distinct, charred sweetness.

When evaluating coffees of this style, enthusiasts often consult the flavor wheel to identify the specific nuances that emerge through the roasting process. For this particular offering, the roaster highlights a profile defined as smoky, roasty, and classic. These descriptors suggest a cup that favors the transformative impact of high-heat roasting, resulting in a robust experience that remains a staple for those who prefer a traditional, full-bodied brew.
