Padre Pio | Saint Father Pio of Pietrelcina | Dark Roast

“Pray, hope and don’t worry.”

Tough, austere, unmistakably sweet underneath. Like the friar of Pietrelcina, this coffee is bold on the surface and gentle at the finish: our signature coffee taken to a true dark roast (Agtron 35), with chocolate, a full body and a lingering sweet aftertaste. Like life in faith, a little bitter at first, sweet in the end.
