BeeGood blends only high-grown, hard-bean coffees that are dense enough to stand up to this roast. It is not a coffee for the cautious. The deep, dark glistening beans brew a bold cup of coffee with pronounced smoky overtones. In the United States, the name "French Roast" typically denotes a very dark roast and our French Roast offers that and more. With high-grown, top-quality arabicas, the result is a complex, intense cup of coffee.

French Roast is a method of roasting coffee beans, which can then be ground up and used in coffee or espresso drinks. Fresh coffee beans are small and green, and must be roasted for consumption in beverages. To roast beans using the French Roast method, the beans are roasted at temperatures between 370 and 540 degrees Fahrenheit (188 to 282 Celsius) for 11 to 13 minutes. While the beans are roasting, you will hear a popping sound, or "crack." After the first crack, the beans would be characterized as Cinnamon or City roast, with a light, mild flavor. If you eave the beans in the roaster until they crack again, the resulting beans will be French Roast beans.

Depending on the type of roast, the flavor of the coffee beans will vary. French roast creates the darkest beans, with an extremely bold and smoky flavor. The surface of the coffee beans is generally very oily. With French Roast coffee, though the flavor is very strong the beans are no higher in caffeine than any other type of roast.

Try our French Roast coffee paired with nuts, roasted vegetables, desserts like creme brulee or anytime you want the strong flavor of a great cup of roasted coffee!
