The same green coffee, roasted differently:
A dark Colombian. Dark chocolate and cooked apple, with a thick body. This is the one I recommend for milk drinks.

Tasting notes — what do they mean?
This coffee comes from Huila, in south-western Colombia, between the central and eastern ranges of the Andes. The department grows something like a fifth of the country's coffee, yet four out of five of its producers work less than three hectares — this lot is built from ten to thirty such farms, cupped in Pitalito. Pear, cooked apple, cooked orange and dark chocolate, with juicy acidity and a sugary sweetness. When someone is starting out with specialty coffee, this is the one I put in their hands.
The bag carries the roast date, so you can see exactly when it was made.
Whole bean is best between 4 and 8 weeks; ground, a few days. Keep it in a sealed bag at room temperature, away from light — the fridge doesn't help, and the freezer only works if you don't keep opening it.
Recipes
These are not generic recipes. The roast level and the character of the coffee together set the parameters — and we've written down why.
Aiming for: Dark chocolate, cooked apple, sugary sweetness.
About our dark: Our dark roast stops at around 18% development and never reaches second crack — so it takes hotter water than a typical "dark roast" recipe would tell you.
