About
Over the years we received an increasing number of requests for a traditional Italian style of espresso. This made us nervous as they can often be bitter from over-roasting and the addition of cheap Robusta. However, with our curiosity piqued we set about making the best version we could; an elegant modern interpretation in the Dark Woods style. Starting with sweet and balanced specialty arabicas from South America and India we then add high quality Robusta from the award-winning Harley Estate in India. Left mid-roast this results in a smooth, rich and full-bodied espresso that will make people reassess this style
