☕ The Kraken Blend – Extra Dark Roast

Flavour Profile: Dark Chocolate, Smoke, Burnt Sugar

Body: Heavy
Acidity: Low
Roast Level: Extra Dark – dropped on the cusp of second crack for maximum intensity

100% Arabica

🌍 Overview

This is coffee as it was before anyone started arguing about acidity.

The Kraken is our darkest roast — deliberately pushed to the edge, where oils surface, sweetness darkens, and intensity takes over. Built from the same Brazil and Uganda base as our Gunpowder Blend, this version is taken further, right to the limit of what we consider extra strong.

Expect a heavy, powerful cup with deep dark chocolate, smoky edges and burnt sugar bitterness. Acidity is stripped back almost entirely, replaced by weight, punch and that familiar, nostalgic “proper coffee” character many people grew up on.

There are hints of aromatics still clinging on — just enough to remind you this is fresh, well-roasted coffee — but make no mistake: this is bold, uncompromising and intentionally dark.

Not modern.
Not subtle.
Exactly the point.

☠️ Perfect For

People who ask for extra strong.
Early mornings.
Milk-heavy drinks.
Stove tops, bean-to-cup machines and no-nonsense espresso.

If you like your coffee clean, bright and fruity — this isn’t for you.
If you like it dark, heavy and unapologetic — welcome aboard.

🔥 Roasting Philosophy

We drop The Kraken right on the cusp of second crack — the moment where control matters most. Push it any further and you lose everything. Pull it any earlier and it isn’t The Kraken.

This is the darkest roast we’re willing to put our name to.
