13,672 products were put through the competition’s rigorous blind judging process; and Dark Woods Coffee claimed a plethora of stars at the world’s most coveted food and drink awards. 3,938 products were awarded a Great Taste 1-star – ‘food and drink that delivers fantastic flavour’, 1,386 were awarded a Great Taste 2-star – ‘above and beyond delicious’, and 266 were awarded a Great Taste 3-star – ‘extraordinarily tasty food and drink’.
We are extremely proud of the Great Taste Awards that Dark Woods has received this year.
