Keepcup Reusable Cup
Dark Woods now have their own branded Keep Cup, probably the most popular brand of re-usable cups. We have gone for the glass versions as they clean better and give you a fresher taste every time you use them. Some of the plastic ones, just taste of old plastic over time! Don't worry though the glass is very sturdy stuff. They come in two sizes 8oz for your regular Flat White fix, or the larger 12oz.
For every use of a resuable cup, we’ll plant a tree through One Tree Planted.

Dark Woods Snow Stone Christmas Coffee
This wouldn’t be a top 5 list without including some actual coffee. To be enjoyed in front of the fire as the nights draw in and the leaves begin to fall. The coffee takes its name from one of the Stanza Stones, a series of poems carved into the rocks in the Pennine Hills. The Snow Stone itself sits in a long disused quarry at Pule Hill above the village of Marsden, etched with a verse from acclaimed poet Simon Armitage. Two natural processed coffee, one from Brazil and one from Ethiopia, that combine to give you a dried cherry sweetness and a smooth chestnut flavour. Added to this is a little washed processed coffee from Colombia. The fuller roast style adds dark chocolate overtones and a full body.
