At J. Brooks, they firmly hold the belief that coffee can be as diverse as people. They strive to find the best possible roast, blend and flavor combinations that give you a taste that’s as unique as you are. And while every coffee is unique, they’re all connected. Because of this, they don’t just want to bring you good coffee. They want to help you find a coffee that fits you, and bring coffee lovers into a community as rich and diverse as their products.
To do that, they have offered suggestions for coffees that fit different personalities. This, of course, isn't a hard and fast rule--you're always going to like what tastes best to you--but since each coffee is so unique, they want you to find a coffee whose personality matches yours. At J. Brooks, they call it your Roastinality.
My favorite is Gallant it is the perfect embodiment of Dark and Bold. Gallant is stout and deep. This dark roast has a hint of chocolate and comes from Huehuetenango, Guatemala. When you're huddled next to a fire, discussing the deep mysteries of the human condition, Gallant is the perfect thing to push you toward that next great thought.
