From the roaster

DMC and Raul Sisniega Melded Minds for a Psychedelic Reenvisioning of our Portolio Blends Perfect for any Trip!

Starry Eyes illuminates the path through the darkness.  Our dark roast coffee beans are a giant step towards a refined, sweet, and complex cup forged from the pyrolytic core of the Dark Matter Machine. 

These gems are tethered through the lens of tradition, an approach long coveted in every era of coffee. Flames transform the essence of the coffee by neutralizing acidity and amplifying sweet, creamy, and toasty flavors. Cast a light in the dark and let the sparks fall where they may. 

Our premiere dark roast is a nod to the old style of roasting which is still favored throughout the world and pairs perfectly with a splash of cream or dash of sugar.

 Notes: Brownie, Vanilla, Almond.

Context

The Raul Sisniega x Starry Eyes (Dark Roast) represents a collaboration between producer Raul Sisniega and Dark Matter Coffee. By applying a dark roast profile to this specific lot, the roastery emphasizes deep, comforting flavors that lean into the confectionary spectrum. In the world of specialty coffee, dark roasts are often utilized to highlight the development of sugars and the transformation of organic compounds, resulting in a profile characterized by the roaster as brownie, vanilla, and almond.

When evaluating coffees with such distinct, dessert-like profiles, it is helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better identify the nuances between nutty and cocoa-based descriptors. While lighter roasts are frequently celebrated for preserving the delicate acidity of the bean, darker roasts like this one prioritize body and a lingering, sweet finish. This selection offers a focused experience, showcasing how intentional roasting choices can shape the final character of a producer's harvest.
