What does Nine Mile Sunset taste like?

• Rich caramel and dark chocolate roast notes
• Clean finish without burnt or ashy bitterness
• Made to highlight natural bean characteristics despite the dark roast

How should I brew this ground dark roast for the best results?

Because the coffee comes pre-ground, use brewing methods that suit a dark-roast grind—like drip machines, pour-over with a coarser grind option, or a French press if you prefer a heavier body. Adjust coffee-to-water ratio and brew time to control strength and extraction, aiming for a balanced, non-bitter cup.

• Drip coffee maker or pour-over for clear, consistent extraction
• French press for a thicker, more textured brew
• Start with 1:15–1:18 coffee-to-water ratio and tweak to taste
• Use fresh, filtered water near 195–205°F for optimal extraction

Where do the beans come from and is this coffee sustainably sourced?

Nine Mile Sunset is blended from beans sourced from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms, which supports responsible agricultural practices and local communities. The certification helps protect ecosystems while encouraging fairer conditions for farmers and wildlife-friendly farming methods.

• Rainforest Alliance Certified sourcing for environmental stewardship
