What Dark Woods Coffee says about this coffee
We love Ardent’s anaerobic (natural cherry) micro-lots and expect to see a seasonal selection from Yirgacheffe, Guji and Sidama with each harvest. This aromatic, fruity coffee used high altitude coffee cherries, an anaerobic fermentation and drying on raised beds. Here, sugar rich cherries are hand selected and undergo a carefully controlled, thermoshock (thermal shock) treatment before a 24 hour anaerobic fermentation, then slow-drying. This delivers a sweet cup bursting with tropical fruit flavours and a bright, clean acidity.
Please note we only hold limited stock of these products, but we aim to roast at least two times a week (T&Cs apply)

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
