- Why We Love It:
- Arboretum is a seasonal celebration of nature and origin which changes regularly to reflect the freshest and most complex coffees that can be found
- Sweet and vibrant in milk, bright and juicy when drunk black and always bursting with red fruit flavours
- Tasting Notes: Like a crisp autumn day. Long shadows lead to a hedgerow heavy with ripe fruit, oozing sweetness. Bright and jammy
- Darkwoods Coffee favour natural processed coffees for the blend (where the whole fruit is dried before the beans are separated), as they add sweetness and body to balance the brighter fruit forward and slightly funky flavours
- Arboretum was designed as an espresso but there is no reason why it won’t suit a fruity filter or cafetiere
- Compostable bag

- As a lighter espresso, we would probably start with a reasonably high dose (18g, but whatever suits your machine best), and work on a 1:2.5 ratio, making a balanced espresso weighing about 45g or shoot it shorter if you prefer a richer body and more intense acidity
- For filter, we recommend using 60g per litre of water - it’s the industry standard for a reason, delivering a balanced flavour with most coffees
