Pinnacle is our only 'dark' style roast; and only dark by our standards, certainly nowhere near French roast! 

This coffee is one that we bring to the table by popular demand, with a slightly extended development time to our other offerings, providing a richer and more intense flavour without bitterness. We've managed to achieve this by using our electric air roaster, not allowing the oil to transfer as effectively onto each bean, as they are put in to suspense and not roasted with residual heat. 

We sourced this coffee for our Pinnacle, with a washed process to give a smooth taste to compensate for the darker notes present. 

On this occasion, we've gone for a certified organic Peru from the Cajamarca region, specifically the La Montana co-operative in San Ignacio. 

La Montana is made up of several small-scale farmers, allowing all coffee to be hand-picked following a strict ripeness criteria before being floated and hand-sorted to eliminate any defects present. Coffee cherries are then washed and de-pulped before a 20 hour fermentation process where they are then placed in a shaded area on raised beds to dry. 

We'd recommend Pinnacle for espresso brewing, with prominent notes of dark chocolate, hazelnut and brown sugar. However, if you're partial to a richer cafetiere style brew, it is also suitable for filter brewing methods.
