The Underdog

Looking for a coffee that is sweet, full-bodied, and has minimal acidity? Then Underdog is exactly for you. This coffee is a real crowd-pleaser—it's great for more conservative coffee lovers as well as for everyday office drinking. Expect an honest flavor of dark chocolate, plums, caramel, and roasted nuts.

High sweetness and a massive body for espresso and filter

Underdog is also roasted as an omni roast, so you can handle it in the kitchen regardless of your equipment. It works perfectly in automatic coffee machines as well.

• On espresso: Maximum sweetness, low acidity, and a massive body with notes of nougat and sugared nuts.
• On filter: A sweet and nutty coffee with notes of raisins, light red apple acidity, and a pleasantly higher bitterness in the aftertaste.

The Story of Underdog: Why do we believe in lower-scoring coffees?

Sustainability and fairness are key for us at Rebelbean. That’s why we intentionally work with lots for The Underdog that have a cupping score of 81–84 points. Specialty coffees must reach at least 80 points.

• Same care, different profile: These beans come from the same farmers, the same harvest, and the same bushes as our premium single-origins. The difference isn't in the quality of care, but in the flavor profile—they have lower fruitiness, which is exactly what makes them the ideal base for Underdog.
• Fair price for the farmer: Every farmer only grows a small amount of top-scoring coffees. We are happy to buy the rest of their harvest at a fair price that they wouldn't get on the regular commodity market.
• A better price for you: The result is a great specialty coffee that’s easy on your wallet, supports farmers in their total production, and tastes exactly like you’d expect from a proper "cup of joe."
