The Badlands don't ask for your attention. They command it — vast, weathered, and quietly magnificent. This cup carries that same energy.

Sourced from the Cerrado region of Brazil, one of the country's most distinguished coffee-growing areas, Broken Road Signature Badlands is a single origin Brazilian light medium roast built on the classic character that makes Brazilian coffee beloved worldwide. Rich roasted peanut opens the cup with warmth and familiarity. Golden honey sweetness follows, smooth and unhurried, before giving way to a finish of creamy milk chocolate that settles into something deeply satisfying. Nuanced, the body is heavy and grounding, the acidity mild — a cup that never demands anything of you except to slow down and drink it.

How to Brew Badlands Cerrado Brazilian single origin coffee is one of the most forgiving and versatile in the Broken Road lineup. For drip, brew at 200°F with a 1:15 ratio — the honey sweetness and milk chocolate notes develop beautifully through a standard filter basket. French press at a 1:12 ratio amplifies the heavy body and brings the roasted peanut richness forward. For cold brew, steep coarsely ground Badlands for 14–18 hours — the result is a naturally sweet, chocolatey concentrate that needs nothing added. As an espresso, it pulls a smooth, full-bodied shot with a caramel-like sweetness that holds up effortlessly with milk.

Grounded. Steady. Endlessly satisfying.
