Dark Arts Coffee

Featured Roaster

A Roaster We Trust

If you haven't come across Dark Arts Coffee roasters before, it's worth checking out their Instagram – these guys aren't your typical looking coffee roasters, and are not only serious about coffee, but about bikes, booze and all things "unholy."

Roasted in Hackney, London, Dark Arts Coffee comes from Caparaó, a new micro region near the mountainous Pico da Bandeira National Park in Brazil. That kind of distinctive brand, ethos and genuine coffee knowledge is exactly what we look for in the independent UK roasters we feature in our specialty coffee subscription boxes.

The Coffee They Roasted For Us

Dragon

Dragon Brazil is grown by Fabio Araújo, who has been growing coffee from a very young age. This quickly became his passion, and even while attending medical school, he made time to process coffee. Today, Fazenda do Salto is run by Fabio and his sons, André and Juca. They are always striving to produce coffee while understanding the importance of sustainability, environmental and social issues. Best made as a filter, Aeropress or espresso coffee.

Why We Like It

This seasonal espresso has a chocolatey body mouthfeel and is a classic espresso roast. We love Dark Arts, their brand, ethos and generally killer vibe.
