Bold, Rich & Unapologetically Dark

Kralj Kava Brewing Co.'s French Roast is a deep, dark roast crafted from our highest-scoring African coffees — beans selected for their exceptional quality and their ability to shine at the darkest end of the roasting spectrum. Roasted until the beans develop a signature oil sheen, this is a bold, rich, intensely flavored cup that delivers everything dark roast lovers crave, with a bittersweet character and remarkably low acidity.

Where the Italian Roast is built on Central American body, the French Roast brings the complexity and depth of Africa's finest — a darker, more nuanced expression of the craft.
