This is a dark roasted blend from Brazil, Mexico, and Papua New Guinea. The coffee is roasted carefully to the edge of second crack, unlocking flavor compounds unique to dark roasts. The flavor profile features brown sugar, milk chocolate, and hazelnut/almond nuttiness with sweet, very mild acidity. Originally developed as a brewed coffee offering for restaurants and cafes, it has evolved into a standalone espresso option as well.
Flag & Wire Coffee was established in the summer of 2015 in McMinnville, Oregon, following a rebrand of Chrysalis Coffeehouse and Mud River Coffee Roasting. The roastery employs air roasting technology for small batch production, a method that differs from conventional drum roasters and is calibrated to produce lightly roasted beans that accentuate the full character of each coffee. The cafe at 755 NE Alpine Avenue serves as both a retail space and the hub of a wholesale program that supplies partners across Oregon.
