Death Wish Coffee Co.'s Light Roast Blend Death Wish Coffee / Death Wish Coffee

Known as the #1 organic coffee brand and #1 fair trade brand in the United States, Death Wish Coffee is known for its high-quality and delicious coffee blends. Until now, however, the brand has focused on medium roast and dark roast blends. The brand has now announced a light roast coffee has finally been added to their roasts, ideal for those who enjoy the lighter, fruity notes of a light roast coffee.

Made from a blend of three different coffee beans, the new Death Wish blend combines the sweet fruit notes of Columbian coffee, the bright acidity of Peruvian coffee, and the depth that Robusta beans provide. The combination of these coffee beans delivers a sweet, bright, and bold blend that is jam-packed with quality and flavor. Like all of Death Wish’s products, this coffee roast is Fair Trade Certified, USDA Organic, and Kosher. The coffee tastes bright, with notes of golden raisins and a sweet and bright aftertaste. The aroma features a hunt of plum and agave — both sweet and fruity.

For now, the Light Roast blend is available in 16 oz. ground coffee bags, available right from their website or on Amazon. The brand plans to hit Target shelves early in 2025 and also plans to offer roasts in single-serve K-cup pods and whole bean bags. As consumers shift toward choosing sustainably sourced coffee products, Death Wish remains a top brand in the industry. Each Death Wish product follows rigorous standards that protect the environment and livelihoods of coffee farmers.

7 years in the making: A look at the coolest new whiskey tasting room in the U.S.
A spiritual journey indeed
Laws Whiskey staircase

It took some seven years but the new tasting room from Laws Whiskey is here. There were holdups galore, from pandemics to permits, but having visited the Denver venue firsthand, we can genuinely say it was worth the wait. The structure is dazzling down to every detail, but perhaps that's to be expected from a West Coast distillery that champions all the little things that add up to something special in the barrel.

Inspired by a church, the tasting room boasts pews built by the owner for guests to sit on as a member of the Laws team preaches the gospel of whiskey from the pulpit. There are breathtaking custom Gothic windows that arch toward the heavens and a tasting bar that speaks to the moniker of the brand with a "there are no shortcuts" slogan written on the wall.

Why dark roast isn’t always the best: Understanding the different coffee roasts
Every coffee roast, explained

Even after coffee beans are collected from the trees they grow on, they still have a long journey before they're packaged and ready to consume. These beans are stable but not yet ready for coffee drinkers to enjoy. Coffee beans must go through a roasting process that completely transforms the flavor of your final cup of coffee.

"Coffee roasts" refers to the different methods of roasting coffee to develop its flavor. The coffee roasting process brings out the flavor and aroma of the beans, yielding coffee roasts that differ based on the time and heat at which beans are roasted. This is where the classic coffee roasts you know and love, such as dark roast coffee, come into play. Even beyond the classics, such as light or dark roast coffee, you may stumble upon other less-familiar coffee roast types that leave you questioning what makes them unique. Here's your guide to classifying coffee roasts,
