Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to All Things Coffee by Frontier Coffee Roasters,
the podcast where we dive deep into the world of coffee,
one hip at a time. I'm your host el, and
today we're taking a ride into the untamed Frontier with
a brew that's as bold as the outlaws who gave
the wild West its edge. This episode is all about Bushwhacker,
our Italian roast coffee from Frontier Coffee Roasters. It's a dark,

(00:24):
daring blend crafted for those who live life on their
own terms. And if you've ever wondered what it feels
like to drink the Frontier spirit in a cup, this
one's for you. Picture it dust rising on the open plains,
the sound of spurs and saddle leather, and a figure
riding into town with a reputation that blurs the line
between hero and villain. On the Frontier, outlaws lived hard

(00:48):
and free, carving their names into legend. That's the inspiration
behind Bushwhacker, our Italian Roast. It's not a coffee for
the faint of heart. It's for those who a pre
sheiates strength, boldness, and a little bit of rebellion in
their cup. Like the Outlaws themselves. It walks that fine line. Intense, unapologetic,

(01:09):
but undeniably memorable. Italian roast is one of the darkest
styles you can find. The beans are roasted long and
hot until they are a deep, almost black shade with
an oily surface that reflects the intensity of the process.
This isn't a delicate roast. It's bold, smoky, and robust.
Bushwhacker delivers exactly that acidity, low and subdued, creating a

(01:35):
smooth and mellow profile, shade dark nearly black, with that
telltale oily sheen on the surface. Body full bodied, rich
and velvety, giving you a deep and robust mouthfeel. Bitterness,
bold and pronounced, with smoky undertones that make it unmistakably
a dark roast. Every sip feels like a statement, powerful,

(01:59):
direct and uncompromising. But the story of Bushwhacker doesn't end
with the roast. It begins at the source, with beans
from Brazil and Vietnam. From Brazil's famous Santos region we
get balance, chocolately sweetness and a smooth foundation. From Vietnam,
we add earthy undertones and raw strength coffee with grit,

(02:21):
just like the land and the people who grow it.
When combined, these origins create a blend that is both
refined and rugged, much like the Frontier characters who inspired
its name. Now, let's talk about what happens when you
brew a cup. The aroma alone announces its presence before
you even take a sip. It's intense and rich, with

(02:42):
waves of dark chocolate, toasted nuts, and hints of spice,
all wrapped in a smoky essence that lingers in the air.
Take your first sip and the flavor unfolds. Dominant dark
chocolate and cocoa tones lay down a bittersweet base. Earthy
depth from the Vietnamese beans adds and character. Subtle roasted

(03:02):
hazel nut and molasses bring warmth and complexity, and finally,
that smooth, lingering finish, a touch of smoky caramel and spice,
the kind of taste that hangs around like the echo
of hoof beats on canyon walls. It's more than just coffee.
It's an experience. Bushwhacker isn't just a drink. It's a

(03:23):
tribute on the Untamed Frontier. The outlaw rode Hard lived
free and earned his reputation by walking the line between
legend and lawlessness. Bushwhacker, our bold Italian roast captures that
renegade spirit with a brew as dark and daring as
the Frontier's most infamous figures. That's the spirit we roast

(03:44):
into every bag. It's about more than caffeine. It's about character.
When you pour a cup of Bushwhacker, you're not just
waking up, You're stepping into the boots of the Frontier
renegade who refuse to be tamed. So how do you
drink a coffee like this? Because it's low in acidity
and smooth in texture, Bushwhacker is perfect black, no sugar,

(04:07):
no cream, just the bold roast speaking for itself. But
if you like balance, a splash of cream can mellow
the bitterness and let those hazel nut and caramel notes
shine through. It also makes a fantastic bass for espresso drinks.
That smoky richness holds up beautifully in lattes and cappuccinos,
giving every sip a backbone of strength, whether you're up

(04:28):
before dawn or riding into the sunset. Bushwhacker is the
coffee for those who savor life on their own terms. Strong, bold,
and uncompromising. It's a dark roast with a story, a
brew that captures the spirit of frontier outlaws and channels
it straight into your cup. Thanks for joining me on
all things coffee. Until next time, sip slow, savor the story,

(04:50):
and let your cup carry you to the frontier.
