100% pure and displays all the characteristics of our regular Colombia without the caffeine.

Colombia Oscuro $8.49 per pound
Our fine pure100% Colombian coffee in a sturdy, aromatic dark roast version. Truly a substantial yet simple, spirited cup.

Dark French $7.99 per 12oz. unit

Dark French Supreme $7.99 per 12oz. unit
Truly an exquisite blend of our Dark French and Italian Espresso which exhibits both intense strength and a polished finish while being a bit milder than pure Dark French.

Indonesia Fancy Blend $8.49 per pound
A light-bodied blend that is the result of a combination of prime quality beans. A multi-note sophistication and a hint of spice make for a pleasant sharpness and pronounced silky-sweet aftertaste.

Italian Roast Espresso $7.99 per 12oz. unit
This prime quality blend is medium-dark roasted in the true Italian tradition preserving most of the essential flavor producing oil but yet extracting just enough of this essence to accentuate the other flavor characteristics--there is no bitter edge. Its rich, strong body and smooth, mesmerizing aroma make this coffee perfect for use in Espresso machines as well as drip-type brewers.

Light French Roast $8.49 per pound
An uncommon medium-roast that's well rounded in flavor and aroma. It approaches our Italian Roast in completeness but is gentler to the palate. Superb as a drip coffee.

Mocha-Java $7.99 per 12oz. unit
