Equal Exchange Dark Roast Coffee Beans are ideal for those who love a bold, intense coffee with a deep, smoky finish. These beans are 100% organic and Fairtrade certified, sourced from small-scale farmer cooperatives in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. This roast is taken further than the medium roast, resulting in a dark, glossy bean that delivers a powerful and complex cup.
The flavor profile is defined by rich, dark chocolate and toasted nut notes, with a heavy body and low acidity. As whole beans in a 1kg bulk pack, they offer exceptional freshness and value, allowing you to grind them to your preferred consistency for a variety of brewing methods, including espresso, stovetop moka pots, or a robust cafetière. Equal Exchange is a worker-owned cooperative committed to fair trade and sustainable farming, ensuring your coffee supports both people and the planet.
