This Brazilian coffee is roasted just to the point where those dark roast flavors start appearing. We taste chocolate, peanut butter, and caramel.

Understanding roast levels

Light

Best for: those that prize delicate flavors and a tea-like feel above intensity.

Light-Medium

Best for: those that enjoy juicy acidity and gently caramelized sugars.

Medium

Best for: those that enjoy caramelized sugars and a smooth cup.

Medium-Dark

Best for: those looking for classic coffee flavors with a kiss of roast.

Dark

Best for: those that love intense, smoky flavor and a full body above all else.

Trade Tip

Roasters don’t always agree on roast level — one roaster’s dark might look the same as another’s medium. We taste and assign every coffee our own roast level, so your matches stay consistent no matter who roasted them.

    Best coffee from Trade so far! Perfectly balanced daily driver

    This is my 4th shipment from Trade Coffee, and it's easily my favorite so far. Many coffees I've tried start strong with bold flavor but end up falling flat, but this one maintains a rich, complex taste and aroma from start to finish with a long, satisfying finish.

    It's not overwhelming for a morning cup, nor is it overly complex to the point of being challenging. It strikes the perfect balance for an everyday drink. Highly recommend!
