Total Eclipse Dark Roast Blend

Tasting Notes: Dark Chocolate, Roasted Pecan, Butterscotch

Here at Discovery Coffee, people have been begging us to make a dark roast for years - and we mean YEARS. So, what was the hold up? We wanted to be sure that we made a deliberate rich and bold coffee without any of the lackluster tropes that most dark roast coffees have (read- burnt and oily). Well, Total Eclipse Dark Roast is finally here and it’s a delicious full bodied, velvety roast that’s suited for any brew method. With tasting notes of dark chocolate, roasted pecan, and butterscotch, we know you’ll love what we have worked so hard to develop.

The Total Eclipse Dark Roast Blend, crafted by Discovery Coffee, represents a classic approach to deep, developed roasting profiles. By pushing the roast further, roasters often aim to emphasize the sugars and structural components of the bean, resulting in a cup defined by rich, comforting sweetness and a substantial mouthfeel. In this specific blend, the profile highlights notes of dark chocolate, roasted pecan, and butterscotch, offering a bold experience that leans into savory and confectionary characteristics.

When exploring such intense profiles, it can be helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the nuances that emerge from the Maillard reaction and caramelization during the roasting process. While lighter roasts often highlight acidity and origin-specific brightness, dark roasts like this one prioritize the development of body and deep, resonant flavors. This blend serves as a quintessential example of how careful heat application can transform raw green coffee into a smooth, dessert-like cup.
