In the quiet hours before dawn, when the world is still and the embers burn low, the Midnight Chevalier keeps watch. This dark, steadfast blend is forged for those who prefer their brew bold, unwavering, and cloaked in the richness of night.
Roast Level: Dark French Roast
Scale Interpretation: 8–10+ Bold, intense flavor, and thick, syrupy body.
Bean Composition: Blend of specialty‑grade Arabica and Robusta
Taste Notes: Deep, smoky character with a naturally bold body, subtle bittersweet cocoa, and a lingering, toasty finish.
This blend delivers a strong, full‑bodied cup with the intensity you’d expect from a French roast. The Arabica brings smoothness and depth, while the Robusta contributes natural strength and a heavier mouthfeel, all without adding anything beyond the beans themselves.
