Description
Dark yet bright, this is a rarity amongst specialty coffees. Top quality high altitude arabicas are more commonly light roasted but we feel this only tells half their story. By using the cleanest available green coffee, we 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 is a rich and intense coffee that suits fans of more traditional styles.
Crow Tree uses green coffee sourced from women coffee farmers in Peru who work with the Cafe Femenino program. This ground-breaking organisation supports women farmers and producers in what can be a challenging and male-dominated industry. We pay quality premiums to secure the best lots from this co-op and invest directly in infrastructure projects to benefit the Asproagro community.

Why We Chose This Supplier:
Dark Woods is an adventurous, community-focused coffee roastery dedicated to bringing you responsibly sourced specialty coffees from some of the world’s best producers. Our home is a converted Victorian textile mill at the foot of the West Yorkshire Pennines, surrounded by windswept moorland, dry stone walls, and ancient woodland. This landscape, and the people who live here, help inspire how we craft our coffee.
We believe that buying Specialty Coffee is the bare minimum that we should be doing as a quality-focused and ethical roaster. Over the last 10 years, this philosophy has driven our behaviours and helped us develop a model that we call “Beyond Specialty”.
We hope this approach drives our industry leading B Corp score, well over 100 Great Taste Awards, and our involvement in creating coffee education programs used worldwide.
