What flavor profile will I experience with this French Dark Roast?

The cup leans toward a classic French roast: smokey, deep-roasted tones with underlying dark chocolate and a soft sweetness. Body is smooth rather than oily, offering a balanced finish that avoids sharp bitterness. It’s built to provide bold presence while remaining approachable across brew methods.

• Primary notes: smoke and dark chocolate
• Secondary nuance: light, pleasant sweetness
• Texture: silky-smooth mouthfeel
• Finish: balanced, not overly astringent

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

Grinding just before brewing preserves aroma and flavor—coarse for French press, medium-coarse for pour-over, and fine for espresso. Use a consistent burr grinder to avoid over-extraction and adjust grind size if your brew tastes sour or bitter. Freshly ground beans paired with correct water temperature (195–205°F) and proper coffee-to-water ratio will highlight the roast’s richness.

• French press: coarse grind, 4-minute steep
• Pour-over: medium-coarse grind, 1:15–1:17 ratio
• Espresso: fine grind, 18–20 seconds extraction target
• Milk drinks: hold bold flavor against milk with slightly finer grind

How fresh are these beans and how are they packaged to stay fresh?
