Frida's Blend | Dark Roast
Roast level: Dark
Tasting notes: Dark chocolate, maple syrup
Blend: Democratic Republic of Congo, South Kivu Provence & Chiapas Mexico
One of our most popular coffees, this blend of Congo and Mexico coffee beans delivers a delicious rich body, without any bitterness. Roasted just barely to a ‘dark’ level, we love the balance of a dark chocolate richness with the maple syrup-like sweetness. This blend sings when brewed as espresso, but also delivers a yummy, rich drip coffee that will satisfy any bold coffee drinker.
We ship all orders via USPS Ground. Orders are shipped typically 1-3 days from order date unless fresh beans need to be roasted. We roast on a weekly basis, so orders could take up to 5 days to ship. Email us with any questions or concerns! hello@sweltercoffee.com
If there is an issue with your order, you can contact us within 30 days of purchase to resolve. If you simply do not like the coffee, we cannot offer a refund. Please gift the coffee to someone who may enjoy it!
