You’ll immediately notice an intensely sweet, slightly spicy aroma with layers of bakers chocolate, figs, blueberry, and even…rootbeer? in the lingering finish.

Coffee is the seed of a tropical evergreen shrub. Growers around the world harvest and process a wide range of coffee varietals grown under widely different conditions. The genetics of the plant and the "origin terroir” greatly contribute to the character of the coffee you wind up tasting in the cup. At the Brooklyn Roasting Company we search out the world’s finest coffees and expertly roast them to tease out their many colorful characters. Our coffee team is constantly evaluating the coffees we source (or consider sourcing). At the outset, we measure the moisture content of incoming “green” and then sample roast these lots to determine the optimal profile for each coffee on a larger, commercial scale. We cup each sample roast on rotating stone tables equipped with circulating hot water baths, and a thick, tempered glass surface that floats on zany 1960’s superballs and hula hoops. This playful, colorful backdrop to cupping and assessing coffee–the core of our craft– is a constant reminder to appreciate and unlock the flavors and aromas that characterize the extraordinary beans we buy. Taken together with our “Color of Coffee” tasting approach, this crucial quality control step typifies our “serious but not snobby” approach.

We love this bean and roast combo, it is our "go to". Great aroma and crema.
Store owner replied: Great aroma and crema, that's the Iris doing its thing. Thanks for making it your go-to, James & Gal!
I've been taste testing a lot of new coffees, and this is my favorite. It's just the right point on the spectrum between middle and darkest roast. Love it in a Mokapot.
Store owner replied: Out of all the coffees you've been taste testing, the Iris came out on top. That's so good to hear, Janine! A moka pot is a great way to brew it.
This is my go to brew for espresso. Turns out the perfect amount of crema and delicious every time.
Store owner replied: Perfect crema every time is what we love to hear! Thanks for making the Iris your go-to, Sarah.
My wife and I have been ordering this for months now and honestly haven't found anything that compares. We're using the fellow espresso series 1 with it, and it pulls better than all the cafes nearby. So much crema! SO MUCH CREMA!
We love this bean. Always dependable espresso with good cream and delicious taste.
