Raven’s Brew® Coffees
THE LAST LEGAL HIGH™
ROASTING PHILOSOPHY
Our goal at Raven’s Brew® is to find the perfect intersection between flavorful bean and roast level for each of our blends. Roasting coaxes a panoply of flavors and aromas from the depth of the bean while layering in toasty, warming notes. Our roasting methods ensure that our beans are never scorched—even when taken to the darkest levels of roast.
HOUSE BLEND COFFEE TASTING NOTES
-
Dark Roast Coffee
Some might even term this an “espresso roast” and many of our favorite coffees for espresso are roasted to this level.
These blends are the dark-brown color of chocolate and have a shimmer of oil on their surface which can appear in the cup when brewed. The flavors from the beans begin to be eclipsed by those from the roast.
However, the beauty of the origins still shine through the symphony of nutty, caramel, and chocolate notes commonly present in these blends.
-
Our rapturous house recipe yields complex shades of chocolate with a sweet-fruity depth which gives way to subtle, spicy nuances.
MISTY FJORDS™ COFFEE TASTING NOTES
-
Medium Roast Coffee
Medium Roast is the optimal level for many blends where the flavor of the bean is accentuated more than the toastiness of the roast. The coffee flavors are more developed than in a Light Roast, the body is heavier, hints of spiciness start to develop, and flavors and aromas from the roasting process come to the surface.
-
Lemon peel, citrus flower, and mild sweetness with a light, smooth body and high acidity.
BREAKFAST BLEND COFFEE TASTING NOTES
-
Light Roast Coffee
We boldly admit that our Light Roast is on the darker-side of this description. Many coffees do not develop well at this stage, tending to be acidic or even astringent, and sometimes featuring strong grassy or vegetable tastes. However, a few coffees fare well with this roast level and have a bright, eye-opening sassiness to them with just a touch of sweet.
-
Toffee and citrus brightness with a light, silky body and crisp acidity.

THE STORY BEHIND RAVEN'S BREW® COFFEE
Long ago, far away, in a seascape of countless islands shrouded in mist and robed in dense forests, Raven's Brew Coffee® came into being
The legendary Alexander Archipelago, also known as Southeast Alaska, is home to the small and isolated town of Ketchikan, the rainiest inhabited place in North America.
-
If there was anything to match the quantity of rain there, it was the number of trees, fish, ravens and the unfathomable, unquenchable craving of the local human denizens for rich and strong, hot, steaming, soul-warming coffee. Nothing excited their senses more than a proper cup of coffee and that coffee was Raven's Brew®. Its perfect balance engendered social harmony. Its freshness and purity matched the intense beauty of the natural setting.
-
Its heat was the satisfying antidote to rain-drenched conditions, and it accentuated perfectly the sunny days.No wonder that it was Raven who brought the gift of the ultimate elixir. It had been Raven who, in eons past, brought the gift of the sun to light the sky for the first peoples of that land. Now he brought the brew that lit the soul, and it was so welcomed that it soon spread all over Alaska and throughout the continent and even across the seas...

The heart may hoist a sail
Synapse become epiphany,
