Dark Night of the Soul - Blend

A 50/50 blend of rotating washed Latin American coffees, roasted dark. Sweet and nutty with a medium-heavy body - the coffees shift with the freshest harvest, but the balance stays consistent. Dark chocolate, fig, and molasses notes, roasted just past the start of second crack for all the roasty-toasty depth without losing the sweetness.

Dark Night of the Soul is a signature blend sourced from Latin America by The Mad Priest Coffee Roasters. This selection utilizes a washed process, a technique often favored for highlighting the inherent clarity and acidity of the bean. While natural-processed coffees are frequently noted for their heavy fruit profiles, washed coffees like this one typically offer a cleaner, more refined cup.

In this specific blend, the roaster highlights deep, resonant flavors of dark chocolate, fig, and molasses. These characteristics fall into the richer, earthier segments of the flavor wheel, providing a grounded experience that contrasts with brighter, more acidic profiles. For those interested in how these specific techniques influence the final cup, our processing methods explainer offers a deeper look at how the washed method shapes the body and sweetness of the coffee. This blend serves as a classic example of how careful roasting can emphasize depth and complexity.
