Is this the same as a regular dark roast?

It is darker than most dark roasts. French roast is taken further into the roast, which gives the smoky, bittersweet flavor and the oily surface.

How should I brew it?

It works well in a French press, moka pot or espresso machine. For drip, use a slightly coarser grind and a little less coffee, since dark roasts extract quickly.

Are the beans supposed to be oily?

Yes. A long roast pushes oils to the surface. That shine is normal and fades as the beans age.

Is it whole bean or ground?

Whole bean. Grind just before brewing to keep the aroma, and use a burr grinder if you can, since oily beans are hard on blade grinders.

Is it certified organic?

The beans are described as organic, rain-washed, sun-dried and fire-roasted. Check the bag for the certifying body's seal.
