Detour Dark is a dark roast blend typically combining coffees from Brazil and Colombia, grown at 1200 to 1900 MASL. Processed using a combination of Natural and Washed methods with various producers and farms. The roast focuses on caramelization and roast development to create a rich, heavy, full-bodied cup with a creamy texture. Flavor notes include dark chocolate, molasses, and toasted nuts, with a balanced, layered structure and no charcoal or smoky attributes.
Founded in 2009 by Kaelin McCowan in a back alley in Dundas, Ontario, Detour Coffee Roasters was born from a passion for the craft. They started with a journey across the continent to pick up their first roaster and have since grown into a beloved brand known for their fun, approachable, and high-quality "friendly coffee".
