Why Choose This Dark Roast
A powerful, robust taste — for drinkers who want maximum strength and depth, not a subtle or delicate brew.
Natural caramel undertones balance the dark roast's intensity, creating a satisfying sweetness black or with milk.
Subtle fruity accents lift the flavour profile — an unexpected brightness within an otherwise deep, dark roast.
A dark roast and full body mean the coffee holds its character through milk — ideal for flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos.
The lingering, smooth finish is what keeps you coming back — clean and satisfying rather than bitter or harsh.
Beans from Colombia, Brazil, Ethiopia and Papua New Guinea are combined for body, sweetness, aroma and depth.

Common Questions
What does the After Dark Blend taste like?
After Dark is a bold, intense dark roast with a robust, full body. It carries natural caramel sweetness, a subtle hint of red berries, and a long, smooth finish.
Is the After Dark Blend good for milk-based drinks?
Yes — the dark roast and full body mean the coffee holds its character through milk, so flat whites, lattes and cappuccinos keep a strong, satisfying coffee flavour.
What's the recommended espresso recipe?
As a house baseline, we recommend 21g of coffee for a 40ml output in around 30 seconds. Treat that as a starting point and adjust to taste.
How fresh is the After Dark Blend when it arrives?
We roast to order — your After Dark Blend is freshly roasted before dispatch. Coffee peaks roughly 7–28 days post-roast for espresso, so you'll receive your bag within its peak freshness window.
How should I store the After Dark Blend after opening?
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. Avoid the fridge and clear glass jars on the bench. Once opened, consume within 2–4 weeks for best flavour.
