Gaia Organic Blend®
An organic dark blend whose notes go blossom, cacao and earth. That earthy edge is the thing to expect here, softened by the floral note. Medium body and medium acidity, with Peet's recommending drip and French press.
Pick it if blossom, cacao and earth sound good to you.

Chocolate malt, molasses, licorice, earthy. This dark blend from Indonesia and Central and South America leans heavy and sweet, not fruity. Kicking Horse recommends drip, pour-over and French press, and it's organic and fair trade in a 10-ounce bag.
Pick it if chocolate malt, molasses and licorice sound good to you.
Best for Dark-roast fans who brew drip or French press
