Café Altura Dark Roast is notably lighter than other popular coffee companies in the industry. If you are looking for black beans glistening in oil then we suggest our French Roasted coffees. Our intention with the Dark Roast is to give the coffee the pleasant aroma and flavor that the roasting process provides, while not masking the flavors created by the coffees variety, processing, altitude, soil and location.
