rich roast is a dark-roasted blend from bristol coffee company, drawing on beans from ethiopia, colombia, brazil, indonesia, and sumatra. the sumatran component in particular shapes the cup, bringing the earthy, full-bodied weight that defines this style of blend. dark roasting across these origins pushes flavour toward bitter chocolate, low acidity, and a heavy mouthfeel. it suits brewing methods that complement body and intensity, espresso machines and moka pots work well, as does french press if you want to lean into the weight. grind coarse for immersion or fine for espresso.
