“Dark done right”; the subtle hint of brightness in this cup recalls the time of day when the sun is below the horizon but you can still see its glow. Perfect for dawn, dusk, or whenever you could use a glimmer of light...

“Twilight” is officially defined as the period of time during which the sun is below the horizon at an angle of 18 degrees or less; in the evening, this is the period of time between sunset and dusk; in the morning, between dawn and sunrise. Technically, twilight is subdivided into three categories: civil twilight (brightest), nautical twilight (middle), and astronomical twilight (darkest). You will see these designations show up in various laws, i.e. when drivers must turn on their headlights; they are also important to military operations, as nautical dawn or dusk is a common time of day to launch or fend off an attack.

Whether it’s dawn, dusk, or any other time of day, this Twilight Blend by Velton’s Coffee is sure to please any palate. We hope you enjoy this roast from one of Seattle’s most well-known coffee insiders!

Reviews & Ratings

E	★★★★★	★★★★★ Just too much zip in this one. A bit acidic like others have stated but maybe as a cold brew it would be great.
Nathan Conde	★★★★★	★★★★★ Very tasty and fresh! Flavors were excellent. Roast level is perfect, nothing like the mainstream charcoal coffee you get from the supermarket.
Justin Peterson	★★★★★	★★★★★ Came out very acidic. Did not enjoy. I used a french press. Acidity always tastes sour to me so this just isn’t the blend for me.
David Speer	★★★★★	★★★★★ Great dark roast. The charcoal-like quality common to dark roasts didn't overpower the other flavors. Was smooth, a little sweet and had a nice spice finish. Brewed french press.
Marki Guzlas	★★★★★	★★★★★ Very dark roast, but unfortunately it was a little too bitter for my taste
JC	★★★★★	★★★★★ Really enjoyed this dark bean. Could definitely pick up on the dark chocolate tones.
Kristiana Kornegay	★★★★★	★★★★★ Good dark roast, definitely taste earthy spices in flavor profile. Great as cold brew as well.
Sarah Baugh	★★★★★	★★★★★ french pressed - noticed chocolate tones first followed by a cherry finish. Fairly smooth with no acidity. Would drink this one again!
Sarah Baugh	★★★★★	★★★★★ french pressed - noticed chocolate tones first followed by a cherry finish. Fairly smooth with no acidity. Would drink this one again!
diane schimpf	★★★★★	★★★★★ a good flavor combo, left me wanting more than just my little sample bag!
Edward Bove	★★★★★	★★★★★ This was a favorite! It was great with sweetener, with cream, or black. Loved it!
E	★★★★★	★★★★★ Dark with cherry and a little zip. Takes cream very very well and is indulgent!
Mary	★★★★★	★★★★★ This was a nice dark roast. You could really get the bitter dark chocolate at the end. Was made in a french press and drank black.
Sabrina Klein	★★★★★	★★★★★ One of the favorites so far with our subscription. Would absolutely order it again!
Chris from Ohio	★★★★★	★★★★★ Tastes great but could have been a little darker on the roast.
Christine Henderson	★★★★★	★★★★★ Good coffee. Didn't get any subtle flavors, but it's an above-average medium-dark roast. It would be better if it were a bit oilier and roasted a bit longer.
Lakecia S Allison	★★★★★	★★★★★ I absolutely fell in love with this coffee! The cherry and definite flavor of the dark chocolate made this coffee feel like dessert! So smooth and flavorful!
Ryan	★★★★★	★★★★★ Delicious. The cherry notes are bright without being very acidic, and really add a nice flavor to the cup. It's rich and complex and smooth and bright all at once. Very well blended.
Alex Russo	★★★★★	★★★★★ This coffee has a nice balance. Neither the spice nor fruit flavors overpower the coffee as a whole. I really enjoyed it!
Shana Mitchell-Boyle	★★★★★	★★★★★ Deeelicious. I will def be ordering a full size bag. :) Smooth and no bitterness.
Jason Pigg	★★★★★	★★★★★ Dark but smooth, with a heavy body and a really pleasant dark chocolate, brown sugar, and (maybe?) graham cracker taste. Nice, lasting (and non-bitter) aftertaste.
northern va coffee drinkers	★★★★★	★★★★★ Fantastic cup of coffee! My wife and I both agreed from the first sip.
Great Plains Family	★★★★★	★★★★★ Overall a very smooth and flavorful coffee. Best when adding a little be of cream or milk. Goes great with sweet and rich deserts.
Coffee Drinker	★★★★★	★★★★★ Solid dark roast with taste true to tasting notes. Brewed with a french press. Only complaint is that it leaves a lingering after taste.
Deborah Frausto	★★★★★	★★★★★ Reminded me of cocoa nibs and even tobacco. Long finish and perfect if you like to add milk. I enjoyed it as a macchiato with dry foam. Wish we could add pictures!
Danielle Davis	★★★★★	★★★★★ really smooth with a touch of spice. Soo nice with sweets.
Joe Shultz	★★★★★	★★★★★ The real deal. Fantastic. Liquid Gold. Smooth and fruity.
TR	★★★★★	★★★★★ Smooth, dark and utterly good. Another instant favorite of mine.
Alison bowen	★★★★★	★★★★★ Love chocolatey coffees! Definitely would order this again. Great with a little cream. Very good coffee
Teryn B	★★★★★	★★★★★ All around good coffee. Smooth dark roast. I could actually taste the chocolate and cherry as described.
Carlos Argueta Castillo	★★★★★	★★★★★ fruity on the cherry side, it has a bit of a "dry and burnt" aftertaste, not smoky nor smooth. Not as dark as I'd hope but good nonetheless.
Lauren Lindbergh	★★★★★	★★★★★ This was my favorite this month! Dark and smooth with the hints of chocolate and spice. A great cup of black coffee with the french press
Donna Knight	★★★★★	★★★★★ A hint of cherry, a hint of spice, a hint a dark chocolate. What is not good about this. Delicious at every sip.
Chelsey jones	★★★★★	★★★★★ This is one of my favorites I received! Dark, chocolaty, and has a great caffine kick!
D Hyland	★★★★★	★★★★★ I think Veltons has potential, but what I received just isn't there yet. A dark roast that hits its mark, unfortunately its the only mark it hits, a one dimensional flavor profile that's nice to drink but doesn't keep me coming back.
Travis E	★★★★★	★★★★★ Somewhat smooth the roasted flavor was strong not my favorite.
John Jantz	★★★★★	★★★★★ As a fan of dark roasts, I really enjoyed this one. Brewing it via french press (or long steep aeropress) eccentuated the "heavy" feel of the blend and made for a great wake-me-up-on-a-cold-day type of coffee. Very roasty without tasting like a leather wallet or the inside of an ashtray. Highly recommend.
Joseph L Ellsworth	★★★★★	★★★★★ This is an amazing dark roast. I ordered this for the first time several years ago from Seattle Coffee Gear and then again through Velton's website. This is a great coffee with deep flavors. I used the chemex in preparation for this coffee. Definitely pick up the cherry and chocolate notes.
Superscrounge	★★★★★	★★★★★ Smooth with good strong roasty flavor - slight hints of cherry and spice as described, and lacking astringency. Not a very complex flavor profile, but definitely drinkable. Needs a bit of cream. (v60 and french press).
Warren M Hosack	★★★★★	★★★★★ This was a very smooth dark roast...subtle spice notes which were welcome and delicious...
Rich C	★★★★★	★★★★★ Definitely get the cherry notes as described. I enjoyed it, more as an afternoon coffee on a lazy day then as a morning-starter.
FE	★★★★★	★★★★★ Definitely a favorite. Bold flavor with a smooth finish. Naturally sweet, so I end up using less sugar. Looking to order this regularly from now on.
Carol H.	★★★★★	★★★★★ Excellent dark, smooth brew! We loved this coffee and have ordered a full bag!
Betty	★★★★★	★★★★★ Beans smell like they got burnt and scorched, but the expressos came out tasting like rich, smooth, dark-chocolate covered cherries. Absolutely delicious!
Holly Gonyea	★★★★★	★★★★★ Great coffee with undertones of cherry and chocolate that are not overwhelming
Charlotte	★★★★★	★★★★★ As described, wonderfully smooth and bold without being over-roasted. A truly enjoyable bean for the french press.
Megan Brymer	★★★★★	★★★★★ Definitely a dark roast done right as the description states. Definite notes of dark chocolate.
