The word Chiaroscuro (key-are-oh-SKOO-row) combines the Italian term for “light” (chiaro) and “dark” (scuro). It was first used to describe art – most notably from the Italian painter Caravaggio. His dramatic use of light and dark largely influenced the Baroque artists who followed. Likewise, our Chiaroscuro Blend is a complex coffee, layered with smoky caramel and punctuated by mildly bright fruit notes.
