This French Roast coffee is sourced from various producers in the Huila region of Colombia, grown at altitudes between 1,000 and 1,800 meters. The coffee features Colombia, Castillo, Typica, and Bourbon varieties, processed using the fully washed method. The roast profile offers dark chocolate, smoky, and torched sugar flavor characteristics, typical of a dark roast preparation.
Black Cup Cafe Del Mundo traces its roots to 1975, when Perry Merkel began roasting on a small air roaster in his shed in Anchorage's Spenard neighbourhood, making it Alaska's first coffee roaster. The business was acquired in 2011 by Brad Bigelow and Tim Gravel of Kaladi Brothers Coffee, who rebranded it as Black Cup and renovated the space on East Benson Boulevard. The roasting facility on Brayton Drive in Anchorage continues a legacy of over 50 years of continuous operation, with the team evaluating countless coffee samples from worldwide producers and emphasising transparency with farm partners. The café features a Modbar espresso system installed during the 2016 renovation.
