marine layer

dark roast | sweet & complex

about:

Marine Layer is our new favorite dark roast. That’s right. We said it. We like dark roasted coffee. We set out to create a modern dark roast blend by combining three of the classic coffee origins: Colombia, Ethiopia, and Indonesia. The result is a velvety smooth, complex fusion of sweet, savory, and smoky flavors with overtones of cacao, molasses, and a hint of black currant acidity. This is not your grandparents' dark roast…but they will love it too. It is simultaneously a coffee lover’s coffee - best enjoyed rich and black - AND a crowd-pleaser that tastes incredible with cream and sugar. 

WE TASTE: black currant, cacao nibs, molasses
OUR FAVORITE BREWING METHODOLOGY: espresso, cold brew
