- Why We Love It:
- Dark yet bright, this is a rarity amongst specialty coffees
- Top quality high altitude arabicas are more commonly light roasted but by using the cleanest available green coffee, Darkwood are able to roast darker without bitterness; to develop bold yet defined flavours that match those found in the best quality single estate chocolates
- Crow Tree was designed as an rich sweet espresso but still great as a filter or cafetiere where the traditional roast flavours come to the foreground
- Tasting Notes: Dark and bright the cackle call crows bark their strident song. It cuts, sharp and true through the mist-cloaked morning fug and tells of a secret long forgot.
- Crow Tree uses green coffee sourced from women coffee farmers in Peru that work with the Cafe Femenino program, a ground-breaking organisation supporting women farmers and producers in a male dominated industry
- They also pay quality premiums to secure the best lots from this co-op and invest directly in infrastructure projects to benefit the Asproagro community
- Compostable bag

- 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
