Gourmet Medium/Dark Roast Coffee Beans, 12oz

Headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters has built a 20-year legacy of expertise in crafting exceptional specialty coffee that is sustainably sourced and imbued with a spirit of discovery, making premium coffee more accessible to people worldwide.

Underpinning 49th Parallel's offerings is their unwavering Direct Trade philosophy - a commitment, mechanism, and ongoing exploration to cultivate strong relationships with their coffee community. This approach ensures sustainable prices are paid for their one-of-a-kind coffees.

The range of roast levels at 49th Parallel caters to diverse coffee preferences. Their light roasts emphasize origin flavors, showcasing bright, acidic, floral, and fruity notes, as exemplified by the Epic Espresso. Conversely, the dark roasts focus on roasting flavors, delivering a bold taste with chocolate and caramel notes, as found in the Blue Sky Espresso. Striking a balance between origin and roast flavors, the medium roasts, such as the Old School and Middle School Espresso, offer a harmonious interplay of body, flavor, aroma, and acidity.

To ensure the freshest coffee experience, 49th Parallel exclusively ships its products in whole bean form. The espresso roasts are designed for high solubility, enhancing sweetness and body, making them the perfect choice for espresso machines and moka pots. The filter roasts, on the other hand, are crafted for drip or pour-over methods, optimized for the longer brewing times of 3-5 minutes to bring out the best flavor profile for filter coffee.

Committed to quality and transparency, 49th Parallel proudly offers a wide selection of single-origin espresso and filter coffee, all of which are 100% Arabica. Furthermore, their organic coffee offerings, certified by CCOF, include options such as "Organic French Roast Filter" and "Organic Espresso Capsule" (Nespresso OriginalLine Machine Compatible).

At the heart of 49th Parallel's mission is leading the specialty coffee movement by focusing on exceptional quality, direct trade partnerships, and sharing their passion for specialty coffee with customers. This philosophy is manifested through meticulous attention to detail, from the journey of the coffee beans from the partner farmers' seeds and soil to the customer's hands, ensuring great coffee in every cup, with every roast, every time.

One of 49th Parallel's signature offerings is the Old School Espresso, their most traditional and best-selling espresso. Roasted medium-dark, it highlights the sweetness and body of the coffee, delivering a low-acidity profile with dark chocolate aromas and flavors of cocoa, caramel, and molasses.
