Our Coffee Roasts

Texas Dust Storm Blend

I started learning about coffees nearly 25 years now. I really enjoy coffees from Brazil and Ethiopia, so this a combination of coffees from my favorite regions. This blend immediately begins with as very sweet for black coffee. The Ethiopian supplies the sweetness with combination of nutty tones from two different Brazilian beans that add complexity throughout the palate. The finish is extremely smooth and ends with a subtle smokiness on the tongue. 

Classic Roast 435 (City+)

This is a medium roast, so the flavor profile above is prominent. Sweet Maria’s describes this level of roast as, “there is a balance between moderate roast flavor and the origin flavor of the bean. Astringent, sour or “baked” light roast flavors are reduced, yet the flavors specific to a particular coffee are still expressed in the cup. City+ roasts have a medium brown color and may not yet have the smooth surface that with further development towards second crack.”

Smokey Dark Roast 455
(Full City)

This is a dark roast with a smokey profile. Some of the flavor profile above may be overwhelmed by the roasting flavors. Sweet Marias says about this roast level that, “certain origin qualities might be best expressed when the roast flavors are actually greater. Many Sumatra coffees fall in to this category. Full City roasts have a much more uniform dark brown color and have a smooth surface from the browning and bean expansion that occurs as the coffee is on the brink of second crack.”
 

 Espresso Blend 465 (Full City+)

​

This is our espresso. We take Campfire Blend and turn it into a bonfire and all the way up to 450 degrees. Hence the name. Sweet Maria's coined the phrase Full City+ and we acknowledge their genus. About this roast, they say, "A coffee that’s been roasted just up to the first few snaps of second crack are heard and then terminated, roughly around 445-450 degrees F...  At this level roast flavors begin to dominate, which tones down certain origin characteristics and creates a harmony between the two".
