Description:

A Bold Collision of Light & Dark.

Inspired by my father, François "Franck"—a man who appreciates the depth of a dark roast double espresso long shot—the Franck Blue Reserve is a masterclass in contrast. This custom blend brings together a bold, dark-roasted Peru with a vibrant, light-roasted Ethiopia, creating a "bitter-sweet" profile that is both powerful and comforting.

Flavour Profile

• Notes: A complex palette of smoky baker’s chocolate and burnt sugar, brightened by unexpected flashes of citrus and a lingering honey sweetness.

• Experience: It begins with a strong, sophisticated bitterness and transitions into what we call a "sweet creaming hug."

The Inspiration

"This blend is for the lovers of depth and detail. It mirrors the resilience and warmth of my father, Franck, providing a heavy body that doesn't sacrifice the delicate floral notes of its Ethiopian roots."

The Mission

With every bag of Franck Blue Reserve [Light Blue Collection], you are supporting the youngest warriors in their fight against cancer.

Support with Every Sip: For every purchase, $1 is donated immediately to the Canadian Cancer Society to support Prostate Cancer research and the Light Blue Ribbon campaign.

 Brewing Tip for your Customers

Pro Tip: Use a 1:8 coffee-to-water ratio and steep for 16–20 hours. Because this blend contains a Sun Dried Ethiopia component, the cold brew will have an extra layer of fruity complexity that you won't find in standard dark roasts.
