In the cup
Oak is for the dark-roast loyalists: a wet-hulled Sumatran Mandheling married with a high-grown Guatemalan Antigua, roasted well past first crack until the oils surface and the room smells like a fireplace.
Heavy, syrupy, and unapologetic. It cuts through cold brew dilution, holds its own under cream, and makes the best French press of the year on the first cold morning of October.
