A House Favourite — All-Day Drinkability at Its Best

French Roast is one of those coffees that earns its place in the rotation and never leaves. A beloved blend here at Herbert & Ward, it's built around multiple origins from Central and South America — roasted to a smooth, approachable medium that lets the natural sweetness of the beans shine through.

Expect milk and dark chocolate notes in harmony, a gentle sweet acidity, and a wonderfully lingering finish that makes you reach for another cup before the first is done. Medium-bodied and never demanding, it's the kind of coffee that works morning, afternoon, or evening without ever feeling too much.

A firm favourite with cafés across the country when pulled as a traditional espresso — but equally at home in a cafetière, filter, AeroPress, or percolator. Versatile, consistent, and genuinely delicious.
