Empire French is a dark French-roast blend sourced from high-altitude Rainforest Alliance certified farms in Latin America. Roasted beyond the second crack to a deep, dark brown with aromatic oils on the surface, it delivers a full body and pronounced bittersweet, smoky character with dark chocolate and almond notes. The blend emphasizes dark cocoa flavors and muted bright/winy acidity.
