From the roaster

Fitzroy is the lightest of our dark roasts — smooth, approachable, and incredibly easy to love. A longtime customer favorite and our #2 best-selling blend, it delivers comforting notes of chocolate and sweet molasses with a balanced medium body and a clean finish. Crafted from coffees sourced across Central and South America, Fitzroy was designed to be the kind of coffee you can drink every single day and never tire of.

Rich enough for those who enjoy darker coffees, yet smooth enough for anyone who avoids bitterness, Fitzroy shines as a classic hot drip coffee with deep sweetness and exceptional balance. It’s also one of our favorite coffees for cold brew, producing a naturally sweet, chocolate-forward cup that stays refreshing and smooth over ice.

Fresh roasted in small batches at Zoka, Fitzroy is dependable, comforting, and endlessly drinkable — the kind of blend that quickly becomes part of your daily routine.
