Trainer Tom runs down our brand new single estate coffees for March - April

If there is one thing people know about coffee botany it is that arabica is the good guy; the sweet and interesting one with good manners and refined character. Robusta is the black sheep; coarse, bitter and blunt, often found hanging around in cheap blends, lowering the tone and stinking up the place. He’s not even welcome in a lot of instant coffee these days. His name - much like his typical flavour -is mud. However, as with most things in coffee (and life) things are not quite so simple.

Christmas may be an increasingly distant memory but there are still plenty of goodies at here at Dark Woods waiting to be unwrapped. Kicking off 2019 with a bang we have 6 new stunning single estate coffees to share including a fruity Brazillian and an award-winning lot from Ecuador.

Snow Stone, our ever-popular winter blend, is back for 2018.

Water, as Spinal Tap guitarist Nigel Tufnel once famously said, is the most powerful drug of all.

Welcome to our new Dark Woods Coffee website. We have added a lot more useful information and made it much easier to find your way around the site and get to the bits you want. Our new online shop includes our full range of house coffees and seasonal single origins.

We are so happy to announce that three of our Great Taste Award winners were micro-lot coffees sourced from La Huella (Cafe de Panama).

Last year, the Dark Woods team were smiling when we won our very first Great Taste Awards, organized by the Guild of Fine Food.

We are delighted to have won a prestigious 3 Star award in the 2017 Great Taste Awards with this tasty coffee.

Welcome to the second run-down of our new single estate coffee list for June 2017.

The coming of June ushers in a bumper crop of new single estate coffees here at Dark Woods. In total there are 6 new arrivals plus a fresh incarnation of our Arboretum blend.

Choosing the right espresso to make and sell in your cafe is a big decision.
