barista dark & intense is a dark-roasted blend from alfie & co coffee roasters, drawing on beans from brazil, costa rica, and honduras. all three origins are honey processed, meaning the fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, which contributes to the pronounced honey and honeycomb sweetness in the cup. the dark roast pushes those sugars into deeper, fuller territory. it suits espresso-based drinks well, where pressure extraction brings out body and sweetness. grind fine for espresso, or slightly coarser for a moka pot. expect a heavy, sweet cup with little brightness.

common questions

What does BARISTA DARK & INTENSE taste like?

the cup leads with honey and honeycomb sweetness, a direct result of the honey process used across its brazil, costa rica, and honduras origins. the dark roast adds body and depth to that sweetness.

How is BARISTA DARK & INTENSE grown and processed?

the blend combines beans from brazil, costa rica, and honduras, all processed using the honey method, where some fruit pulp remains on the bean while it dries, building natural sweetness into the green coffee before roasting.

How should I brew BARISTA DARK & INTENSE?

the dark roast and honey-process sweetness suit espresso or moka pot brewing, where higher extraction pressure highlights body and the honey character. use a fine grind for espresso and dial in to avoid over-extraction at this roast level.
