This is a dark roast blend combining equal parts natural processed Brazil and organically grown Papua New Guinea coffee beans. The blend delivers a balanced flavor profile with darkly caramelized sugars, warm baking spices, and cacao nibs. Bold enough to stand up to milk and sugar, yet approachable enough to drink black. Flavor notes include crème brûlée, baking spices, and cacao.
Alvarium Roasting launched in January 2022 as a sister venture of Alvarium Beer Company in New Britain, Connecticut. The business is owned by Kate Bugnacki, Michael Larson, and Brian Bugnacki, with Jacob Failla directing roasting operations. All coffee is roasted to order weekly and sourced ethically from multiple countries, with the blends carrying bee and nature themed names that reflect the parent brand's identity. The roastery operates a retail café at its New Britain headquarters alongside a second location at the GastroPark in West Hartford, and the partnership with the brewery creates opportunities for beer and coffee collaborations.
