Pearls of Al Qafr Med-Dark

[Shop all Light Roasts, Medium Roasts, and Dark Roasts]

Once or twice per year, we carry a Medium-Dark roast.

Medium-Dark Roast / Pearls of Al Qafr: Initial impressions (confirmed by June 24): Tantalizing flavor, with dry cocoa and toasty deliciousness that sparkles. From the Al Qafr District, Ibb Governorate, Yemen.

• When brewed as an espresso, you'll have a punchy extraction that is perfect alone or the base of a cappuccino or latte. (Looking for a bright, third-wave espresso? Get a light or medium roast.)

A Medium-Dark roast is an odd beast. You go to Starbucks and buy a blonde roast and it will taste similarly roasted to this coffee. But if you go hangout with the coffee aficionados at Counter Culture, they'll call the same thing an extra-dark roast. So how can a light roast be extra dark? Perspective. That said, we can safely call this a med-dark.
