Spice Island Blend

I've never been a fan of dark roast coffee because I often find it too bitter. My husband prefers a darker roast with bold flavor, so we were looking for a good compromise to please both of us. Metropolis used to classify Spice Island as a Med-Dark roast, so we gave it a shot and we both love it. We use a percolator and really like the strong flavor of Spice Island without the bitterness I often detect in dark roasts.

I'd recommend Spice Island to anyone who doesn't typically like dark roast but wants to find a bolder flavor profile.

My favorite, I usually get the two pound bag straight from the roaster.

This coffee is the perfect blend of full bodied and substantial with an unparalleled smoothness. To me, the best coffees need no sugar and this one fits that bill very well. The only recommendation I have is packaging - please put the re-sealable tops on all of the bags - it makes a huge difference when storing it.

My husband loves medium roasts and I love dark roasts. This one hits right in the middle, which is perfect for us. This one has quickly become our “house” coffee!
