Description
Trader Joe's French Roast Low Acid Whole Bean Coffee is a dark roast built for people who love the bold, smoky depth of a French roast but find standard dark roasts hard on the stomach. Before the long, slow roast, the beans are treated to a chemical-free, natural steaming process that removes some of their acidity — but not their flavor. The result is a smooth, full-flavored dark roast that delivers the intensity of a classic French roast with noticeably reduced acidity.
The beans are 100% Arabica, sold whole for grinding fresh at home, and packed in a nitrogen-flushed can to preserve freshness. Kosher Pareve certified. Distributed exclusively by Trader Joe's and sourced directly from their stores — delivered to your door by HIOOL GOODS.
