Lykke's head roaster Ben hopes that Darkness can help lift spirits from dark times to brighter times. He suggests that even those who prefer lighter roasts may find something to appreciate in Darkness, and that it may lead them to explore a wider variety of coffee flavours in the future.

When roasting this coffee, Lykke emphasises enhancing its powerful and decadent characteristics. The blend contains green coffee beans with a robust style, which gives an intense flavour and mouthfeel, but with a focus on the coffee flavour rather than the roasting process.

Lykke Darkness is a coffee that encourages freedom and flexibility in how you choose to enjoy your cup of coffee. For those looking for brewing advice, Lykke's website offers guides for different brewing methods such as the Mocca Master electric coffee maker, AeroPress and Pour Over.
