Blend Origin Story
Ozark Black is our darkest expression within the Doyenne program, built for drinkers who want weight, richness, and unmistakable roast development without giving up sweetness. We push the roast far enough to create a dense, viscous cup with pronounced caramelization and roast character, while stopping short of the point where bitterness or carbon begins to dominate. The goal is intensity with balance. The coffees we source for Ozark Black are selected specifically for their body, sweetness, and ability to support this level of development. Throughout the sourcing process, we taste these coffees repeatedly, from initial selection through production, so we understand how each component will behave in the blend and how its structure will translate through a darker roast.
As with the rest of the Doyenne program, Ozark Black is built entirely from female-produced coffees and women-led projects. We primarily work in Central and South America, sourcing from countries such as Honduras, Guatemala, Peru, and Colombia. Within those origins, we look for coffees with the depth and density necessary to create the profile we want while continuing to support greater visibility, stability, and equity for women throughout the coffee supply chain.
In the cup, Ozark Black is intentionally heavy and deeply sweet. Expect a full, coating body with layers of molasses, caramelized sugar, dark chocolate, and other sugar-browning notes that become more pronounced through roast development. Rather than chasing acidity or delicacy, this coffee is centered around texture, depth, and sustained sweetness. Designed to perform exceptionally well as both filter coffee and espresso, Ozark Black is our most developed interpretation of specialty coffee: bold, familiar, and substantial, but still grounded in carefully sourced coffee, rigorous quality control, and a clear sensory intention.

What we paid
The subject of paying for green coffee is inherently complicated. While the amount paid is very important, the payment terms and type of contract negotiated matter just as much. We...

Import cost
Getting coffee from origin to our roastery costs real money— ocean freight, import fees, and trucking. We list the per-pound logistics cost so the full picture of what a coffee...
Pay Structure

Traceability in payment
Our pay structure grade reflects how traceable and equitable the payment chain is for a given coffee— how directly money reaches the producer, the terms of the contract, and how...

Commodity price at time of purchase
The C market sets the commodity price for coffee at the time of purchase. Listing it alongside what we actually paid shows how far specialty coffee can move beyond the...

Objective sensory quality score
Cup score is an objective sensory measure of quality, scored against the SCA standard. Anything above 80 points is specialty grade; every point above that is exponentially harder to find.

Lot size tells you how rare a coffee is. Small microlots are separated at the farm level and available only briefly; blends and evergreen offerings are produced continuously, shown here...
Green Cost
The subject of paying for green coffee is inherently complicated. While the amount paid is very important, the payment terms and type of contract negotiated matter just as much. We buy on forward contracts with producing partners we return to year after year, paying well above both the commodity market and fair trade minimums.
Transportation
Getting coffee from origin to our roastery costs real money— ocean freight, import fees, and trucking. We list the per-pound logistics cost so the full picture of what a coffee costs is on the table.
Pay Structure
Our pay structure grade reflects how traceable and equitable the payment chain is for a given coffee— how directly money reaches the producer, the terms of the contract, and how much of the final price stays at origin.
C Market Price
The C market sets the commodity price for coffee at the time of purchase. Listing it alongside what we actually paid shows how far specialty coffee can move beyond the commodity baseline.
Cup Score
Cup score is an objective sensory measure of quality, scored against the SCA standard. Anything above 80 points is specialty grade; every point above that is exponentially harder to find.
Lot Size
Lot size tells you how rare a coffee is. Small microlots are separated at the farm level and available only briefly; blends and evergreen offerings are produced continuously, shown here as ∞.
Roast Profile
We roast to tight tolerances, with no more than 1° deviation from target temperatures. During the roast, we keep an especially close eye on rate of rise (RoR)- or the rate at which the bean temperature is increasing.

Mold-Free
Mycotoxins
We recently subjected our coffees to rigorous third-party testing for mold and the mycotoxins they can produce—harmful compounds that may develop when certain molds grow on coffee beans. The results couldn't be clearer: our coffee is 100% mold-free.

Lead-Free
Heavy Metals
We recently subjected our coffees to rigorous third-party testing for heavy metals—including Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury to ensure that every cup meets stringent safety benchmarks. We employ AOAC Method 2015.01, a gold-standard analytical technique in food safety with a detection limit in the parts per billion.
