ORIGIN STORY

An old school dark roast with new school flair! We roast Night Moves to a critical point on the roast curve, which gives this blend a bold, rich, and extremely flavorful profile. Sweet and smooth with notes of dark chocolate, candied stone fruits, and sweet caramel. Night Moves blend is appealing to those who love drinking dark roasted coffee, but without the bitterness they might expect.

The Night Moves Blend, crafted by Passion House Coffee, represents a classic approach to the high-quality output found in Guatemala. By utilizing the washed processing method, the roaster emphasizes a clean, structured cup profile that highlights the inherent sweetness of the bean. This specific blend balances deep, comforting base notes of dark chocolate, roasted walnut, and toffee with the brighter, sugary lift of candied stone fruits and caramel.

In the broader flavor wheel, washed coffees are often celebrated for their clarity and consistent acidity, which allows these distinct dessert-like characteristics to shine without interference. While natural-processed coffees often lean toward intense, jammy fruit profiles, this washed selection offers a more refined, approachable experience. It serves as an excellent example of how careful roasting can harmonize traditional nutty and chocolatey foundations with subtle, sweet fruit undertones, resulting in a versatile cup suitable for various brewing methods.
