What to expect from this coffee

Dark French roast coffee offers a bold, smoky flavor with rich notes of bittersweet chocolate, toasted caramel, and charred oak. The deep roast level produces a full-bodied cup with low acidity and a lingering, slightly earthy finish. Its intense aroma hints at burnt sugar and dark spice, making it a favorite for those who enjoy a robust, no-nonsense brew. This is about as dark as coffee gets!

 

The history behind this coffee roast

Lafayette’s journey—leaving behind aristocratic privilege to fight for liberty—mirrored the ideological shifts brewing in both societies. He arrived in America in 1777, at just 19, bringing not only military aid but also a spirit of transatlantic solidarity. After the war, he helped popularize American revolutionary ideals in France, and during his later travels to the United States in 1824–25, he was welcomed as a living symbol of liberty and unity.

Our Lafayette French Roast pays homage to this revolutionary bridge between continents. Its French roast profile honors Lafayette’s homeland, while the use of American-grown or allied beans symbolizes the alliance he helped forge. The boldness of the roast reflects his courage in battle and his unwavering commitment to democratic ideals. With each sip, one partakes in a legacy brewed in defiance, diplomacy, and enduring friendship.
