Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf World Blend '63 Dark Roast Whole Bean Coffee, 1 lb — Bold, Espresso-Ready

Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf World Blend '63 is a dark-roast whole-bean coffee crafted from a deliberate blend of beans from five countries for a rich, balanced cup.

Blended and roasted by The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, World Blend '63 combines beans from Costa Rica, Sumatra, Papua New Guinea, Guatemala and Brazil to create a dark-roast profile that works for espresso shots or milk-based drinks. The beans are specialty-grade Arabica, hand-selected from small farms and roasted in Southern California to preserve nuanced flavors while delivering a bold, full-bodied experience.

What flavor profile should I expect from this dark roast?

This blend emphasizes body and depth while keeping layered notes that emerge across brewing methods. Expect sweetness and brightness from Costa Rica, earthy weight from Sumatra, deeper savory tones from Papua New Guinea, spice and balance from Guatemala, and dried fruit and nut hints from Brazil.

• Sweetness and clarity: Costa Rican beans
• Earthy, heavy mouthfeel: Sumatra contribution
• Extra depth and complexity: Papua New Guinea
• Spice and balancing acidity: Guatemala
• Dried fruit and nut nuance: Brazil

How does this blend perform as espresso or in milk drinks?

World Blend '63 was formulated to be expressive as a straight espresso while staying assertive enough to cut through milk in lattes and cappuccinos. The dark roast accentuates body and crema, and the layered origins keep the cup interesting rather than one-note.

• Strong crema and full body for espresso pulls
• Retains flavor under milk for balanced lattes
• Works well with a range of grind sizes and pressure profiles

How should I brew and store these whole beans for best results?

Grind beans just before brewing to preserve aromatics; use coarser grinds for French press and finer for espresso. Store in an airtight container away from light and heat, and use within a few weeks of opening for peak freshness.

• Grind fresh: coarse for immersion, medium for drip, fine for espresso
• Use filtered water and correct coffee-to-water ratio for clarity
• Keep beans in a cool, dark airtight container after opening

What makes this coffee ethically and qualitatively distinctive?

These beans are sourced from small farms and selected from the top tier of specialty-grade Arabica. The blend is hand-selected and roasted with attention to origin characteristics, reflecting a craft approach rather than mass commodity roasting.

• Top 1% specialty-grade Arabica sourced from small farms
• Hand selection and blending to highlight origin traits
• Roasted by The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf with decades of experience

Who is this for? World Blend '63 suits home baristas and coffee lovers who want a versatile dark roast that performs well as espresso and in milk drinks, yet still shows complexity across multiple origins. If you value roasted depth, a sturdy crema, and a multi-origin character that stands up to milk or stands alone, this 1 lb bag of whole beans is designed for daily brewing and crafted specialty moments.
