Dark Roast Espresso Beans
Dark Roast Espresso Beans: Shaman
Our dark roast espresso beans, which we call Shaman, pay tribute to the American Frontier Shaman—those guiding forces who provided strength, balance, and unwavering support. Sourced exclusively from the lush regions of Brazil, these beans embody the steadfast character of the Frontier's spiritual guardians while delivering a rich, robust espresso experience.
Origin & Farm Information
Grown in select Brazilian coffee plantations, these beans benefit from nutrient-rich soil, moderate rainfall, and consistent sunlight. Farmers adhere to sustainable practices, carefully cultivating and harvesting the cherries for optimal flavor. The result is a bean that captures Brazil’s natural richness and depth, ultimately yielding an espresso with a harmonious blend of sweetness and intensity.
Roasting Level & Process
Our Shaman espresso beans undergo a dark roast, expertly monitored to draw out their bold, full-bodied essence. During this process, the beans’ natural oils emerge, contributing to a velvety, intense crema. The darker roast profile also caramelizes sugars within the bean, adding a subtle sweetness that balances the roast’s inherent strength.
