costa rica coffee
by adams & russell · liverpool, uk
you'll taste lemon before black tea. this is costa rica cascara, a natural costa rica from adams & russell.
it has tasting notes of lemon and black tea, giving it a bright, clean, tea-like character that sits on the lighter, more delicate end of the spectrum.
it's a caturra varietal grown in costa rica and processed using the natural method, meaning the coffee cherries are dried whole before the fruit is removed.
filter methods like v60 or chemex suit it well, keeping the lemon brightness and tea-like body clear and defined, water around 92-94°c with a medium-fine grind is a good starting point.
adams & russell gets it right in ways that matter. tucked into birkenhead's argyle industrial estate on appin road, this roastery has earned its 4.8-star reputation from over 200 reviewers through sheer consistency. the beans arrive with that telltale brightness you only get from careful roasting, each batch treated like it actually matters. their regulars keep coming back because there's honesty in every cup, no flashy marketing, just coffee that tastes like someone gave a damn. the industrial setting might not scream specialty coffee, but that's exactly why it works. no pretense, no staged instagram moments. just the steady hiss of the roaster and beans that speak for themselves. when chains dominate every high street, places like this remind you why independent roasters exist.
