freedom roast is a natural-process blend from colombia and el salvador, roasted by buddy brew coffee in support of the life and beauty initiative. natural processing, where the coffee dries inside the whole fruit, tends to concentrate sweetness and body, which aligns with the milk chocolate and dark chocolate character here. expect a smooth, cocoa-forward cup with a fuller mouthfeel than washed coffees from the same regions. it suits brewing methods that highlight body and sweetness, such as french press or pour-over with a slightly coarser grind, keeping water temperature around 200°f to avoid pulling bitter notes from the darker chocolate end.
