SBC Dark

We collaborated with Standard Baking to create this blend, a dark sibling to their Bakery Blend. We combined French roasted beans from South America, Italian roast from Indonesia, and lighter roasts from Africa. Try it hot or as cold brewed iced coffee!

Flavor Notes:  Wine + Dark Chocolate + Roasty

Roast Level:  Dark

SBC Dark, crafted by Coffee By Design, represents a bold exploration of the flavor profiles often associated with Indonesia. Coffees from this region are frequently celebrated for their heavy body and earthy complexity, characteristics that often anchor the deeper, more resonant sections of the flavor wheel.

In this specific offering, the roaster highlights a profile defined by wine-like acidity, rich dark chocolate, and a distinctively roasty finish. While Indonesian coffees are traditionally processed using the giling basah or wet-hulled method—which can contribute to their signature low acidity and syrupy mouthfeel—the resulting cup is highly dependent on the roaster’s approach to heat application. By leaning into a darker roast profile, this selection emphasizes the structural intensity and savory depth inherent in the bean, providing a robust experience for those who prefer a full-bodied, intense morning brew.
