Understanding roast levels

Roast level affects both flavor and body. Here's what to expect from each.

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.

    Changed my opinion of Italian Roast

    Excellent dark roast coffee. I brew in a Bialetti coffee/espresso maker. I have found typical Italian Roast coffee a bit too intense. Oren delivers a much better result, with the aroma, flavors, and after taste that add up to a great coffee drinking experience. It is 1 of the 2 best dark roast coffees that I have found through Trade.

    REPEAT CUSTOMER

    I've been ordering through Trade for about a year this month now that I think about it, and I've found two roasters of all the different ones I've tried that I've added back into my queue or just flat out ordered again because they were so good. This is one of those two standouts. Don't judge a book by it's cover, the minimalist label on this Italian Roast is holding one of the most flavorful and delicious dark roasts I've tried. Sweet notes of raisins and nuttiness, and BOLD. Highly recommend this if you take your coffee black and piping hot. I brew in a modified French Press with a reusable capsule and plunger to force the water through the grounds, and it's perfect every time.

    Smooth and delicious

    Perfect for my morning iced lattes. No acidic flavor and it makes my morning coffee routine something I look forward to and enjoy every day while saving money by not buying coffee at Starbucks or Dunkin every day!

    Great coffee

    This is a very good, smooth and flavorful coffee. I was interested in trying it because of the name and was glad I did. I will purchase again.
