Cocoa coffees

Beans with cocoa notes — 55 specialty coffees that lean cocoa. Discover the roasters and origins behind the taste.

55 beans

Pure, dry cocoa character — cocoa nibs, fine powder and smooth Dutch cocoa, the chocolate note stripped back to its honest, sweetness-free core.

Cocoa coffees taste of chocolate at its most honest: the crunchy bitterness of cocoa nibs, the fine dryness of cocoa powder, and the mellow, alkalised smoothness of Dutch cocoa. This note threads through many medium roasts and classic Latin American beans, sitting underneath fruit and nut tones as a savoury-sweet backbone. Drinkers value cocoa coffee for its balance and depth without the heaviness of a dark roast.
