Snow Stone is a winter blend from Dark Woods that captures all the flavours of the season. It features two natural processed coffees, one from Brazil and one from Ethiopia, which together create a sweet dried cherry taste complemented by a smooth chestnut flavour. Additionally, a small amount of washed processed coffee from Colombia enhances the blend. The fuller roast style adds dark chocolate notes and provides a rich body.
The coffee is named after one of the Stanza Stones, a series of poems carved into rocks in the Pennine Hills. The Snow Stone itself is located in a long-disused quarry at Pule Hill, above the village of Marsden, and is etched with a verse from acclaimed poet Simon Armitage.
This blend is perfect for enjoying in front of the fire as the nights grow longer and the leaves begin to fall.
