Elizabeth C. ★★★★★

This is my new go-to for a morning that needs a serious kick — the Peru and Papua New Guinea blend has a deep, earthy finish that cuts through milk beautifully. Makes a fantastic, no-nonsense cup of black coffee too.

Joseph ★★★★★

First brewed this up this morning and the rich, smooth body from the Peru and Papua New Guinea beans was exactly what I needed. It’s got a deep, earthy kick without any bitter aftertaste, which is rare for a darker roast. Definitely ordering more before this bag runs out.

Miles ★★★★★

The Cajamarca and Papua New Guinea blend gives this roast a smooth, almost creamy finish that works great for my afternoon cup. It’s got a solid kick without any bitterness, and the name is a fun nod to Knoxville.

Matthew Q. ★★★★★

The bag arrived with a strong, almost smoky aroma that filled the kitchen before I even opened it—exactly what I want from a darker roast. Brewed a mug this morning and it held up beautifully against milk, with a smooth finish that didn't turn bitter. Definitely my new go-to for a bold cup without the harshness.

Michael T. ★★★★★

First sip and I knew this wasn't some thin, watery roast—there's an actual body to it that coats your tongue, with a hint of cocoa that lingers. I've been drinking it black for a week now and haven't gotten bored once.

Riley ★★★★★

What woke me up this morning was the bright, wine-like acidity cutting through the dark roast—totally unexpected for that level of bean, and it makes a perfect morning cup. The body is thick enough to stand up to milk, but it doesn't lose any of the subtle fruit notes.

Ryan ★★★★★

I was a bit skeptical of a blend from two very different origins, but the balance here is perfect—smooth with a subtle, earthy finish that I haven't found in other dark roasts. Really wakes you up without any bitterness.

Abigail J. ★★★★★

This bag has been my go-to morning brew for the last two weeks; the Peru and Papua New Guinea blend gives it a rich, smoky flavor without any bitterness. I love that it’s a robust roast but still smooth enough to drink black.

Richard ★★★★★

Finally, a darker roast that isn't just burnt tasting — there's a real depth from the Peruvian and Papua New Guinea beans. The chocolatey notes come through nicely in my French press.

Benjamin ★★★★☆

Switched from my usual breakfast blend and this one’s got a nice bold kick without being harsh. The notes of dark chocolate come through clearly in my French press, and it brews a smooth cup even with a slightly coarse grind.
