Dark Roast · 500g (2 x 250g Bags)

After Dark Blend 500g

A bold, intense dark roast built for drinkers who want a robust cup with real character — caramel sweetness, a touch of red berries, and a long, smooth finish.

This 500g format ships as two 250g bags, which suits a dark roast especially well since it loses its intensity faster than a lighter roast once opened — keeping the second bag sealed preserves that freshness. After Dark combines beans from Colombia, Brazil, Ethiopia and Papua New Guinea into a dark roast that leans into intensity without tipping into bitterness.

Why the two-bag format suits a dark roast

Dark roasts tend to lose their edge faster than lighter roasts once opened — the oils that carry the caramel and berry notes start to fade within a couple of weeks of exposure to air. Splitting this order into two sealed 250g bags means you're always brewing from a bag that hasn't been sitting open too long, which matters more here than it would for a milder medium roast.

Getting the best out of it

Since dark roasts fade faster once a bag is opened, splitting this 500g order into two sealed 250g bags is genuinely useful rather than just a packaging quirk — only open the second once you're through the first. A dedicated coffee grinder is still the biggest upgrade you can make to consistency, and it runs well on any of our home coffee machines. If you want to compare it against a lighter roast first, the sample pack includes After Dark alongside three of our other blends, and it's worth checking current coffee deals as well. If you find yourself wanting even more intensity once you've worked through this bag, our Arabian Blend sits a step above After Dark in strength and is worth trying next.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 500g come as one bag or two?

This order includes two 250g bags rather than a single 500g bag, which keeps the second portion sealed and fresher until you need it.

How dark is the After Dark Blend?

It's a genuine dark roast — bold and intense, but balanced with caramel sweetness and red berry notes rather than tasting simply burnt or bitter.

Where are the beans sourced from?

After Dark blends beans from Colombia, Brazil, Ethiopia and Papua New Guinea to build its bold, layered flavour profile.

What grind options are available?

After Dark ships as whole beans by default, with espresso and plunger grind options available depending on stock.

How should I store it?

Keep each bag sealed in a cool, dark place and aim to use it within a few weeks of opening — dark roasts can lose their edge quickly once exposed to air.

Is 500g or 1kg better for regular drinkers?

500g (as two 250g bags) suits lighter households or anyone who wants fresher smaller portions, while the 1kg bag is better value if you're brewing daily.

Is After Dark suitable for milk-based drinks?

Yes — its strong, full body cuts cleanly through steamed milk, so the caramel and red berry notes carry through in a flat white or latte as well as they do in a straight espresso.
