Why we roast on the light side

People sometimes expect a harbor coffee shop to serve dark, smoky coffee. We roast lighter, and here is why: coffee is a fruit, and a lighter roast keeps the sweetness and the flavors of where it grew.

Our Harbor Blend tastes of milk chocolate, red apple and honey. Our espresso goes a little darker for caramel and cocoa, because milk likes that. Neither ever tastes burnt.

Try a bag of Harbor Blend and taste the difference.
