Tasting notes: Roasty & Sweet Flavor Intensity: Extra Bold Dark Roast Italian Roast. Coffee is an art form in Italy, and no one settles for a timid cup. So when we created a coffee that waves the Italian flag, we wanted something robust and expressive. Our roasters answered with a sturdy coffee that's darker than our Espresso Roast but not as smoky as French. We love it for its rich, roasty sweetness, medium body and clean finish. Enjoy with: Tiramisu and a slideshow of Rome. Our Dark Roasts. We roast coffees darker to achieve specific flavors-from subtle notes of caramelized sugar to a bold smoky taste. It takes special beans to go this dark. Anything other than dense, high-grown Arabica beans will turn to ash and leave an unpleasant finish. But when a good bean meets a skilled roaster, ah, that's something to be reckoned with. The Starbucks Roast
Each coffee requires slightly different amounts of time and temperature during the roasting process to create a cup at its peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. We classify our coffees in three roast profiles so you can easily find your desired flavor and intensity.
Blonde | Medium | Dark 100% Responsibly Grown. Ethically Traded.
