Tasting Notes - Kite & Key Blend

Wait — is this flavored coffee?

Nope. Just Great Coffee.

Here's what you might taste in each cup:

Dark
Chocolate
Walnut
Caramel

Natural Flavor. Not Flavored.

We don't add syrups, oils, or artificial anything. These tasting notes come naturally from the beans — the soil, the altitude, and our air-roasting process.

Love adding your own flavors? This coffee is the perfect canvas to paint your masterpiece on.

Your palate, your experience — that's the beauty of great coffee.

No syrups. No weird stuff. Just coffee.

"The best coffee my husband and I have ever had. As a mom of two toddlers and a baby, my coffee is very important!! We have a subscription and accidentally didn't order enough last time — we had to get a bag of our old coffee and it tastes like watered down coffee now in comparison."

FAQ

Common Questions

What is the best medium dark roast coffee?
The best medium dark roast balances bold flavor with smoothness — no burnt or bitter taste. Look for 100% Arabica beans that are air-roasted (not drum-roasted), which removes chaff and creates a cleaner, more flavorful cup.
What is air roasted coffee?
Air roasting uses hot air instead of a metal drum to roast beans. This prevents burnt chaff from sticking to the beans, resulting in smoother, cleaner-tasting coffee with no bitter aftertaste. Only about 1% of roasters use this method.
Why does coffee taste bitter?
Bitter coffee usually comes from over-roasting, burnt chaff, or stale beans that have been sitting on shelves for months. Freshly roasted, air-roasted coffee eliminates these problems — giving you bold flavor without the bite.
What's the best coffee to drink black?
Look for a smooth, full-bodied roast with natural sweetness and zero bitterness. Medium dark roasts with tasting notes like chocolate, caramel, or walnut are ideal for drinking black — you taste the coffee, not the harshness.
