French Roast
- Vendor: Hunter Bay
- Type: Coffee Blends
Dark Roast: Blended according to tradition, Hunter Bay’s classic French Roast combines high quality coffees from each of the world’s three principal coffee-producing regions—Africa, the Americas and Indonesia—to create a remarkably aromatic coffee with hints of sweet berries and lively allspice mingled with a flavor foundation of brown sugar and caramel.
In French Roast the lively fruit elements of African coffees mix with the rich aroma and spiced nuttiness of South and Central American coffees and the full-bodied earth tones of Indonesian coffees. Exceptional served black, Hunter Bay’s French Roast mixes well with cream and sugar and is especially delicious enjoyed with a freshly baked chocolate fudge brownie.
