The Venetian Shadow Italian Roast 🇮🇹

Embrace the dramatic intensity of tradition with our The Venetian Shadow Italian Roast 🇮🇹. This is an extra dark, unapologetically powerful coffee, crafted for those who demand maximum flavor, a heavy body, and absolutely no perceptible acidity.

The Venetian Shadow is a commitment to the darkest edge of the coffee spectrum. This blend utilizes select, high-density Central American coffees, chosen specifically for their ability to withstand the extreme heat required to achieve this profile. The result is a bold, uncompromising cup that cuts through milk and sugar, while retaining a deep, heavy coffee flavor that resonates long after the sip.

We roast these beans until they reach a state of being profoundly dark and visibly oily. This intensive process ensures that the bright, acidic characteristics of the origin are completely diminished—in fact, the acidity is non-existent. What remains is the pure essence of roast, offering a profound depth defined by notes of charcoal, intense bittersweet chocolate, and a hint of smoky molasses.

Despite the depth of the roast, our commitment to quality remains supreme. This Italian Roast is always freshly roasted in small batches to order, ensuring that even at this extra dark level, the oils are vibrant and the flavor is at its peak intensity. The dark roast also contributes to a thick, heavy body and a smooth, syrupy mouthfeel that is a hallmark of this style.

Furthermore, the Central American components of this blend are ethically sourced, guaranteeing that even when pursuing the darkest profile, we uphold standards of sustainability and fair practices for the growers. The Italian Roast is more than a dark coffee; it's a bold foundation for classic espresso and a powerful presence for any drip brewer.
