Before Chef Mark’s Coffee & Spice Co. ever roasted its first bean, there was Moses, born in 1895, a Native American blacksmith from the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation. He worked with fire and iron, shaping tools, hinges, and horseshoes with quiet strength and ancestral pride. His forge was more than a workshop; it was a place of rhythm like a Drum, resilience like a Warrior, and reverence to the Creator.
Though Mark never met Moses, his wife's grandfather, the stories lived on. They spoke of a man who worked with purpose, who honored his craft, and who passed down more than tools — he passed down values. Strength without arrogance. Precision without waste. Truth in every detail.
Black Iron Roast was born from that legacy.
This master blend of Sumatra and Guatemala dark roast beans is as bold and grounded as the man who inspired it:
Sumatra Dark Roast brings deep, herbal tones with an earthy backbone.
Guatemala Dark Roast adds balance with smooth chocolate, bright acidity, and a clean finish.
Together, they forge a brew that’s smoky, full-bodied, and layered with cocoa and spice — powerful, rugged, and easy to enjoy cup after cup. With naturally higher caffeine and lower acidity, Black Iron Roast delivers the fuel you need without the bite. It’s a tribute to Moses’s forge — to the fire, the iron, and the enduring spirit of the Native Americans.
Every cup carries his legacy. Every roast honors the truth.
