Carte Noire Ground Coffee

Carte Noire is a premium coffee brand widely recognized for its elegant black packaging and distinct French heritage. The logo on the packaging, featuring the 'Maître Torréfacteur Français' (French Master Roaster) seal, highlights its long-standing tradition of French roasting techniques. The brand focuses on 100% Arabica blends, positioning itself as a high-quality option in the European coffee market.

Founded in 1978 by René Monnier, the brand has undergone several ownership changes over the decades. Today, it is part of the Lavazza Group's extensive portfolio. Much of its production remains concentrated in France, specifically at its facility in Lavérune, which ensures that its manufacturing maintains the high standards associated with French coffee culture. As of 2026, the brand continues to operate as a core part of the Italian-owned Lavazza empire, following their acquisition to satisfy European competition regulations.
