Black Rock Dark Roast is a blend crafted for those who prefer darker roasted coffee. The coffee is roasted into a rolling second crack to create an earthy, roasty, and smoky profile with hints of bittersweet baker's chocolate. The blend components rotate throughout the year, but are carefully selected to achieve the signature dark roast tasting notes.
Great Minds Coffee Roasters was founded in 2019 by Chris and Emily Pacileo in Oakville, Connecticut, housed in the historic Old Pin Shop, a former manufacturing facility that operated for over a century. The roastery partners with sustainable farms and cooperatives worldwide, prioritizing fair trade practices and environmental responsibility across its supply chain. Great Minds roasts in small batches with a focus on continual improvement, rotating its coffee roster to keep the offering fresh and reflective of what is seasonally available. The roastery is open to the public on a limited schedule, keeping the operation focused and intentional.
