About this coffee

What the roaster tells us.

The Traditional is Black & White’s darkest roast, built around washed Colombian coffee from Las Nubes. The roaster describes dark chocolate, cherry and marzipan, and aims to keep some origin character alongside roast-developed flavors. If you already enjoy darker roasts, this is the one to try.

The people behind this coffee

Meet Black & White Coffee Roasters

Black & White Coffee Roasters started in 2017 with two US Barista Champions, Kyle Ramage and Lem Butler, who wanted more people to try the kinds of coffees they'd encountered in competition. Its first cafe, in Wake Forest, North Carolina, also housed its earlier roasting operation. That competitive background helps explain the company's curiosity about what specialty coffee can taste like, but its stated aim includes approachability, too. For someone brewing at home, the appeal is the invitation to explore without treating coffee knowledge as an entry requirement. The founders' original idea was straightforward: make those interesting coffee experiences available to a much wider audience.
