Dark Woods Coffee Arboretum Espresso
The lightest espresso, Arboretum is a celebration of nature and origin. It changes regularly to reflect the freshest and most interesting coffees that they can find and may take the form of a harmonious blend or a stunning single estate. Sweet and vibrant in milk, bright and juicy when drunk black, Arboretum is a coffee for the curious and the bold.
Arboretum is a multi-award winning coffee (two-stars in the Great Taste Awards 2017, and one star in 2018). Taking the best of current crops, this espresso is designed to highlight the fruitier side of coffee, left lighter roast to retain those citrus flavours.
Dark Woods Coffee Colombia El Placer - Purple Fruits (Carbonic) - Gift Tin 150g
Sebastian Ramirez and his El Placer farm, based in Calarca, Quindio, is a true coffee pioneer. We really feel that Sebastian is a producer at the top of his game right now, crafting complex, yet delicious and drinkable, coffees. With this coffee, Caturra arabica has undertaken a 120 hour carbonic honey process (at 18°C), and the addition of dehydrated, yellow fruits and fruit glucose with an additional 72 hours of fermentation.
Dark Woods Coffee Common Grounds - Barrel Aged - Gift Tin 150g
Our award winning Common Grounds now comes in 150g Gift Tins.
A sister project to the Common Grounds Coffee Porter - for which we roast and source the coffee - Common Grounds is a striking and innovative collaboration with Huddersfield craft brewer Magic Rock. Utilising Woodford Reserve Bourbon Barrels sourced from the brewery we explored the idea of resting green coffee in these used barrels before roasting, in the same way that the brewery ages some of its beers.
After much experimenting we arrived at the choice of a washed Ethiopian Yirgecheffe whose natural floral, citrus character became completely transformed by the process. Retaining notes of vanilla and dried fruit from the oak and carrying a surprising amount of sweet Bourbon aroma this formerly limited-edition coffee is a regular sell-out and cult favourite amongst customers worldwide.
Please note that because each batch must be aged in the barrel for up to two weeks there can sometimes be a short wait for the coffee to be roasted. The flavour and intensity of the whiskey character may also vary as different barrels affect the coffee in their own way - just as single cask whiskies have their own unique signatures.
Dark Woods Coffee Common Grounds – Barrel Aged
We are delighted that Common Grounds has won a coveted 3-star Gold award in both the 2017 & 2018 Great Taste Awards. GTA judges commented that it “has great nose; feels like you can taste the barrels in the aroma. It delivers a big hit of blackcurrants and forest fruits. With milk, the fruits are even more pronounced. Funky, sweet, rich, and smooth. Delicious. 3 star.”
Last year saw the launch of Common Grounds, a collaboration with ourselves and Magic Rock Brewery, to make the the ultimate triple coffee porter. This collaboration has now gone even further.
Magic Rock use whiskey barrels to age some of their beers in. This mellows the flavours of the beer and adds complexity from the wood and the traces of whiskey. The same effect can be found when you store green beans in the barrels. We use washed Ethiopian coffee from Yirgacheffe, that is “aged” in a Bourbon barrel for a couple of week before roasting
The results are stunning. A faint aroma of the whiskey (especially when you grind it!) gives way to a sweet smooth vanilla flavour. Just delicious.
Please note that, as each batch has to be aged in the barrel for up to two weeks, there can sometimes be a short wait for coffee to be roasted. Also the intensity and flavour may vary as different barrels affect the coffee in their own unique way, just like a single cask whisky has its own unique signature.
Dark Woods Coffee Crow Tree
Dark yet bright, Crow Tree is a rarity amongst speciality coffees. Top quality, high altitude Arabicas are more commonly left light but we felt that this only tells half their story. By using the cleanest available green coffee we are able to roast darker to develop bold yet defined flavours that match those found in the very best single estate chocolate.
Crow Tree utilises coffees sourced from farms closely involved with the Café Femenino Project. This ground-breaking organisation supports women farmers and producers in what can be a challenging and male-dominated industry.
Crow Tree is a multi-award winning coffee (winning one star at the 2017 Great Taste Awards and two stars in 2018). For the team at Dark Woods, the quality of the coffee and a strong relationship with our producer friends goes hand in hand. Here, we’re looking to develop a coffee with a wide appeal – quality dark chocolate flavours, clean with a hint of fruit.
The current blend comes from Peru Asproagro Community (washed arabica) and Honduras Finca La Guadalupe (washed arabica)
Dark Woods Coffee Deer Hill
We were getting requests for a traditional Italian style espresso. This made us nervous as cheap Italian espresso blends can be bitter from over roasting and cheap robusta.
So we set about making a much higher quality version, an elegant modern interpretation in the Dark Woods style.
The blend starts with specialty arabicas from South America and India. Finally, we add in the very best quality robusta from the award-winning Harley Estate in India. It’s just mid roast resulting in a smooth rich bodied espresso that will make people reassess this style.
With a medium roast, Deer Hill delivers a soft, but full-bodies espresso with notes of fudge, toasted nuts and milk chocolate.
Deer Hill won a coveted 2 Stars at the 2018 Great Taste Awards.
Dark Woods Coffee Driftwood - Our "House" Colombian
Our house Colombian coffee since 2018, El Ata (FKA El Jordan) is unique in that it is a single estate that provides us with “fresh” green coffee all-year round thanks to their ability to produce a smaller fly crop in addition to the main annual harvest. We love the vibrant citrus acidity and caramel sweetness in El Ata and it’s a coffee that we return to time after time as the quintessential all-day, everyday brew.
We decided to rename this coffee Driftwood and move it into our Core Range because it's year round availability sets it apart from our other single estate products. It gave us a chance to commission another wonderful illustration from Swiss artist, Julia Marti, whose work is such a big part of our visual identity. El Ata is the river that runs through the region and this coffee is perfect for those relaxed, weightless moments where you lay back and go with the flow.
Dark Woods Coffee Good Morning Sunshine
Dark Woods Coffee Good Morning Sunshine - Gift Tin 150g
Dark Woods Coffee Lamplight Decaf
Lamplight Decaf is gently decaffeinated using the Swiss Water method. This process not only removes the caffeine without resorting to harsh chemicals but also imparts a breaded sweetness that resembles rich fruit cake. Delicious brewed in every method Lamplight is coffee without caffeine or compromise.
Dark Woods Coffee Reserve Series - Yemen Fawaz Ali - Mokha Haraz - Gift Tin 150g
Dark Woods Coffee Under Milk Wood
Not so much stuck between extremes as offering the best of both, Milk Wood was not only the first blend we roasted but the concept around which Dark Woods was built. A medium roast delivers familiar caramel sweetness but adventurous sourcing takes it beyond the perceived limits of this style. Validation of our approach arrived in 2016 when Milk Wood won a prestigious Golden Fork for best Northern Product in the Great Taste Awards.
Awarded a 3-star award and the “Golden Fork” in the 2016 Great Taste Awards for the best product in the North of England; it has also won a great taste award in 2017 & 2018.
This espresso blend is designed to melt into milk to give you a wonderfully caramel flavoured cappuccino, using high-grade single estate coffees to deliver familiar flavours rather than challenge.The roast level is carefully balanced to avoid the bitter flavours associated with some tradition style espresso blends, or acidity of some lighter blends, letting the sweetness shine through. Under milk Wood is very versatile and works well as a filter coffee too, in cafetieres and drip filters.
Flavour: Melts to smooth caramel in milk
The current blend is Brazil Fazenda Passeio (pulp natural arabica), India Kalledevarapura Estate (washed arabica), Ethiopia Aricha (washed arabica)
Dark Woods Coffee Under Milk Wood - Gift Tin 150g
Award winning Under Milk Wood now comes in 150g gift tins
Not so much stuck between extremes as offering the best of both, Under Milk Wood was not only the first blend we created but also represents the concept behind Dark Woods. A medium roast delivers familiar and crowd-pleasing caramel sweetness but adventurous sourcing takes it beyond the perceived limits of this style. All coffee drinkers should find something to enjoy here so if you're new to our range this is the perfect place to start.
Under Milk Wood is a multiple Great Taste Award winner and received a coveted Golden Fork in 2016 for Best Northern Product.
