About
RAF's darkest roast, though not as dark as the name suggests. An organic blend drawing on Indonesia (Aceh), Mexico (Chiapas), Uganda (Robusta Honey), Peru (Cajamarca) and DR Congo (Kivu Natural). Intense nuts and chocolate with a subtle tobacco finish and a hint of smoke. For espresso, bean-to-cup, moka pot, and classic filter.
