Saakya Himalayan Coffee | Darjeeling Dark Roast | 250g

Darjeeling Dark Roast Coffee — Bold, Rich and Full-Bodied

Saakya Darjeeling Dark Roast Coffee is harvested from the lush highlands of Darjeeling — shade-grown at high altitude, hand-harvested by Umesh Gurung and carefully roasted in small batches to reveal its full depth and character. This darjeeling dark roast coffee unveils a refined medley of bold flavours — toasted hazelnuts balanced with a touch of velvety dark chocolate and a gentle smoky warmth that gives way to a delicate floral fragrance. Rich, full-bodied and deeply indulgent — every cup is an invitation to slow down and savour the mist-laden essence of the Eastern Himalayas.

What Makes Darjeeling Dark Roast Coffee Special

Arabica coffee grown at high altitude develops a natural sweetness and complexity that makes it exceptional for dark roasting — the caramelisation of the sugars at higher roast temperatures creates deep chocolate and smoky notes without the harsh bitterness that characterises mass-produced dark roast coffees. The shade-grown cultivation method and micro-lot roasting approach preserve the unique terroir character of Darjeeling Arabica even at the darker roast level.

Umesh Gurung is a first-generation farmer and one of the pioneers of coffee cultivation in Kalimpong and Darjeeling — growing, hand-picking and roasting his beans with the finesse of an artist. Every bag of Saakya Darjeeling Dark Roast Coffee is a product of his commitment to quality and his love for the land.

How to Enjoy Your Darjeeling Dark Roast Coffee

French Press — Recommended: Add 1 tablespoon (7-8g) of ground coffee to your French Press. Pour 200ml of water at 92-96°C. Brew for 5 minutes, gently press the plunger and pour. The darjeeling dark roast coffee delivers a deeply satisfying bold cup in a French Press — rich, chocolatey and warming.

Black Coffee: Serve without milk to fully appreciate the smoky depth and chocolate richness. This darjeeling dark roast coffee is remarkably smooth for a dark roast — no bitterness, just deep complex warmth.

With Milk: Add full-fat milk or oat milk for an indulgent mocha-like experience. The dark chocolate notes pair beautifully with milk — creating a naturally sweet rich coffee that needs no added sugar.

Cold Brew: Add 2 tablespoons of ground coffee to 300ml cold water and refrigerate overnight. Cold brewing a dark roast produces a remarkably smooth and intensely chocolatey concentrate — exceptional over ice with a splash of milk.
