Mr. Espresso Organic French Roast Fair Trade / Organic is our darkest blend. The bitterness commonly associated with most French Roasts was eliminated by selecting coffee varieties that can stand up to the intensity of the roast without bitterness developing. The uniqueness of this blend - the retention of the flavors of the varieties while still achieving the intense sweet smoky flavor, good body. and low acidity - characterizes a great French Roast.
