Dark Roast Depth. Remarkably Smooth.

If you've loved dark roast but wanted it smoother and more balanced — Black Crest is your upgrade.

Black Crest is a dark roast crafted for richness without excess. Sourced from Brazil's Cerrado, Chiapas cooperatives in Mexico, and volcanic-soil farms in Guatemala's Antigua and Huehuetenango — three origins chosen specifically for their ability to hold character and sweetness through a deep, developed roast.

The result: baker's chocolate and caramelized sugar with a smooth, velvety texture and a clean finish. Specialty-grade Arabica, roasted fresh to order — bold intensity without the burnt bitterness or rough aftermath that comes with commodity dark roasts.

Best Brewed:

  • Espresso
  • Automatic drip
  • French press

In the Cup

In drip, expect a bold yet balanced cup with lasting warmth and smooth body. In espresso, it extracts with dense crema and chocolate-forward depth — strong, structured, never harsh.

Origin & Region

This blend sources from Brazilian farms in Cerrado's mechanized agricultural systems, Mexican cooperatives in Chiapas focused on organic and sustainable practices, and Guatemalan producers in the volcanic soil regions of Antigua and Huehuetenango. These three origins provide reliable sourcing from well-established coffee-growing areas with strong farmer networks.

Blend Composition

This dark roast blend combines Guatemalan Bourbon, Typica, and Caturra for complexity and sweetness that holds up to darker roasting, Mexican Bourbon and Typica for clean structure and balance, and Brazilian Catuaí, Catucaí, and Mundo Novo for rich body and chocolate foundation. These varietals are specifically chosen for their ability to maintain origin character while developing the bold, roasted flavors and full body expected from a premium dark roast blend.

Altitude & Processing

900-2,000 MASL (meters above sea level) This dark roast blend combines Brazilian beans (900-1,400m) using pulped natural processing for chocolate richness and body, Mexican beans (1,300-1,750m) washed for structural balance, and Guatemalan beans (1,500-2,000m) washed for complexity. The varied processing methods develop into a bold, full-bodied dark roast that maintains origin character while delivering the robust intensity expected from this roast level.

Not bad but i prefer coffee and bit darker than this with a bit more body

Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the flavor profile of our Black Crest Blend, but we understand that everyone has their own preferences. For more body, we recommend trying our Cerrado Midnight-Brazilian Origin Blend. It's our darkest roast, bold, commanding, and crafted for those who crave true depth but exceptional smoothness. Thanks again for sharing!

This coffee truly is so good! I’ve been unable to drink coffee the past couple years due to issues with heartburn and stomach issues. I started drinking the black crest blend from cremapeaks about a week and a half ago and I haven’t had any heartburn or stomach issues with this coffee. Also no caffeine jitters or extreme crashes mid day. So I encourage anyone who’s having issues with other coffee to give this a try! You won’t regret it!

Thank you, Amber for such a solid review of your previous coffee experience; the before and after. Your review will give others confidence when making a decision in trying our coffees. Thanks again! Crema Peaks Team
