Every October we ask ourselves the same question: how dark can we go?
This year, we went all the way. Meet Grim Reaper — our Halloween Limited Edition Espresso Blend, and the most daring thing we have ever put in a bag.
What is it?
Grim Reaper is a bold, deeply complex espresso blend built for the season. We wanted something that matched the mood of late October — rich, brooding, and just a little bit dangerous.
The result is a cup that layers chocolate and caramel up front before pulling you down into something darker: molasses, dark fruit, a long finish that lingers like a good horror film.
Tasting notes: Rich Cocoa • Dark Caramel • Molasses • Dark Fruit
Who is it for?
The Grim Reaper blend is for the coffee drinker who does not want subtle. If your morning ritual involves black coffee, a dark roast, or espresso pulled long and strong — this is for you.
It pulls beautifully as a straight espresso. It holds its own with milk. It does not apologise for being what it is.
How to brew it
We have made it available in five grind options so you can brew it exactly how you like:
- Whole Beans — grind fresh every time
- Espresso — dialled for home machines and commercial grinders
- Stovetop — Moka pot ready, works beautifully with the darker notes
- Filter — pour over, batch brew, or Aeropress
- Plunger — coarse and bold, built for the French press crowd
Limited stock. No exceptions.
This is a seasonal blend. When Halloween is over, the Grim Reaper goes back to wherever he came from. We will not be roasting it again until (at the earliest) October 2027 — and there is no guarantee he returns at all.
If you want it, now is the time. Once the stock is gone, it is gone.
