From the producer

Death Wish identifies Colombian and Peruvian components plus premium Robusta, but does not publish release-specific farms or producers.

From the roaster

Death Wish Coffee was founded in Saratoga Springs, New York in 2012 and manufactures coffee in Round Lake, New York. TA Associates has held a strategic investment since 2021.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Launched in September 2024 as Death Wish Coffee's first light roast, this certified Organic and Fair Trade Arabica–Robusta blend retains the brand's high-caffeine positioning in a brighter profile. Death Wish publishes approximately 155 mg of caffeine per 6-fluid-ounce serving when brewed according to the package directions.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Three-component blend

Death Wish identifies Colombian coffee, Peruvian coffee and a premium Robusta component.

02
Light roasting

The company light roasts the blend and publishes agave, plum and golden-raisin descriptors with medium acidity and smooth medium body.

03
Undisclosed origin processing

The product page does not state the post-harvest process, fermentation, drying, lot-level traceability or component proportions.

What was added?

Nothing is documented as added to the roasted coffee.

What wasn't added?

No flavoring or post-roast additives are disclosed. Organic and Fair Trade are certifications, not flavor additions or a specialty-grade claim.

Why it matters

The three-component composition and certifications are documented, but a single species value would misrepresent the mixed Arabica–Robusta blend and the farm-level chain remains undisclosed.

What you might taste

Death Wish lists agave and plum in the aroma, golden raisins in the cup, medium acidity, a smooth medium body and a sweet, bright finish.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-11-05) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Walmart displays 4.8/5 ratings on its ground and whole-bean listings, but the pages indicate global or syndicated review pools and surface attributes for other flavors, so the counts cannot be treated as exact-coffee ratings. The Manual's launch article repeats the company's profile and contains no transparent tasting method or score. No numerical public sentiment was added.
