It's roasted in the Southern European style, strong, black, somewhat tart, and always satisfying. Four generations of master roasting. Since 1870. Each coffee-growing country offers many grades of coffee, some excellent and some not. But a country's reputation is always built on its very best grade. Many brands mix poor-quality coffee beans with good ones to keep costs down. That's why a coffee lover can be so pleased with one cup, and so disappointed with another. We never mix the quality of coffee. We choose the very highest grade of beans from the best coffee-growing countries, and we keep them pure. Then we roast them in a way that brings out their unique flavor, just the way my family has for over 135 years. So if you want coffee that's built the reputation, it's inside. We hope each country's best will give you the pleasure only a great cup of coffee can. - Don Francisco. Sustainability: Don Francisco taught us to respect and honor the land and its people. That principle is in every aspect of our business today. We are committed to improving the way our coffee growing partners care for their land, and to enriching their communities through education and healthcare programs. Bold Roast: A rich, dark coffee specially roasted to taste rich, not charred. Our roasting process encourages the natural coffee sugars to caramelize so they deliver smoky, caramely, dark chocolatey flavors. A favorite among coffee lovers. 100% Arabica: Of the two main varieties of coffee, arabica beans brew a more aromatic and flavorful beverage. The great coffees of the world, such as Colombian and Kona, are arabicas. These more-flavorful beans appear in stores as whole bean, and in high-quality ground coffees.
