Black Lodge Coffee Roasters in New Harmony

The whiff of roasted coffee, the crackling sound and the intoxicating aroma is simply bliss.

Situated in the historic Cooper Building bearing a unique logo, Black Lodge Coffee Roasters has a perfectly amalgamated rustic-contemporary ambience. The wooden beams are lit by Edison style bulbs, set in modern fixtures. This place knows how to work magic with the coffee beans.

Amanda and Marc Chevalier moved with their three children to New Harmony from Nashville and away from big city life, eager to discover something new. They find the place special and know that there is a lot of potential hidden for the Chevalier’s to explore.

Besides, their want for a business they also missed the classy cup of coffee they relished in Nashville and decided to have a roaster in New Harmony.

There are always about four to five selections of coffee that you can have but there are variations that keep happening on the list. Experimentations happen on a regular basis and Chevalier tries to find the perfect level of roast in every type of bean to bring out its distinct characteristics.

Amanda says that they are associated with a coffee importer who works with the farmers and that is how they get special green beans which are roasted 10 pounds at a time. She also desires to travel directly to the source where coffee beans are grown and work with the farmers.

Unlike the regular coffee houses that use dark roasted beans which of course are necessary for a dark espresso, Chevalier says that the beans justify their taste when they are lightly roasted. She explains this was like the third wave of coffee and that Starbucks was an example of a second wave because they roasted their beans till it was quite dark. Most people think of dark flavoured coffee with a bean that is very dark, black and oil but there are Sumatran and Brazilian beans that have the characteristics of a dark roasted bean even without actually being roasted. The darker the beans are roasted the more its natural flavours are destroyed.The Chevaliers stick to the natural flavour of every bean and the region where it is produced. Just like wine even coffee can be paired with things. For instance, a bean according to Amanda will give a herbaceous flavour when it is fully appreciated. The Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is roasted lightly so its floral and sweet touches present in the African beans can be enjoyed by its drinkers. South and Central American beans have a chocolaty characteristic.
