“Don’t Poke the Bear” is our playful take on the dark roast stereotype. Yes, it’s rich and chocolatey - but that doesn't mean it's boring. This is a blend with depth, balance, and a few surprises in every sip.
Don’t judge by the roast level. Just brew, sip… and be surprised.

💡 Brew Tip: Rest 5–7 days post-roast. Pull shorter shots to highlight the mousse-like texture, or stretch it longer to reveal its fruity depth.
