The Carnival Roast story

A roast with carnival rhythm.

Carnival Roast was born for the long table: the moka pot that never stops in a full house, the afternoon café con leche, the cup that keeps the conversation going. It is our tribute to the carnivals of Puerto Rico and St. Croix, where Moko Jumbies walk on stilts and the music carries from afar.

The farmer who grows it takes it to a medium dark roast, bringing out chocolate and caramel with a full body that holds up to milk. The same high-altitude bean from Hacienda Guindaleza, with a bolder character.
