The Friends of the Earth dark roast is our Mendocino Vienna.
Named for our county of Mendocino, where salmon streams and redwood
forests meet the Pacific ocean- and Vienna, Austria, where deep
dark roasts accompany incredible desserts in the famous Viennese
coffee houses where revolutions were plotted, planned and organized
with coffee as their fuel.
Vienna roast is more brown than black, with not even a hint of
smokiness nor the taste of charcoal. It has an oily surface and a
savory mouthfeel, and is great with fruit pies and chocolate
desserts. Great if you just want an Eastern European
moment.
We lured you to this coffee with three flavor descriptors;
roasted chestnuts, spicy and chocolatey”. Don’t look for these
flavors to pop out clearly- they are suggestions on how to think
about this coffee initially. Drink it every day for a month and you
will begin to note their subtle presence. I sometimes get a
suggestion of licorice. Coffee is complex when it is good. This
Vienna roast is a blend of coffees from Central and South America,
all roasted together to the second crack, when the oils within
begin to vaporize and squeeze out the pores of the bean as it
reaches 425° F. Stopped at that moment, it is Vienna roast, the
taste of Revolution!
