This organic blend combines two roast levels - a dark roast (Ebony) and a light roast (Ivory) - sourced from Sumatra and Ethiopia. The beans are roasted separately before blending, creating a visually striking contrast in the bag. The coffee features flavor notes of dark chocolate, molasses, and fruit leather with a creamy finish. It has a full, creamy body with medium-low acidity and aromatics of roasted cacao, sweet spice, and subtle stone fruit. This dual-roast blend is made with 100% Arabica coffee beans.
Blind Dog Coffee was founded in 2007 by Mark Berry in Gardnerville, Nevada. Mark developed cancer as a young child that ultimately threatened his eyesight, and by age 49 he became legally blind, ending a 30 year career and prompting him to learn professional coffee roasting. The roastery uses 100% USDA Certified Organic beans with a GMO free, no additives guarantee, and sources ethically in support of fair labour practices. A portion of all proceeds goes to the Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation, reflecting Mark's personal connection to childhood cancer. The business operates a roastery headquarters in Gardnerville alongside a coffee shop and café in nearby Minden.
