What does LONDON 1965 SPECIAL ROAST taste like?
it leads with milk chocolate and dark chocolate, giving it a cocoa-forward, sweet profile that's easy to enjoy without much bitterness. it's a reliable, comforting cup rather than a complex or fruit-forward one.
How is LONDON 1965 SPECIAL ROAST grown and processed?
the beans are bourbon varietal, grown in costa rica, a country known for producing clean, well-structured arabica coffees. no specific processing method has been confirmed for this lot beyond those details.
How should I brew LONDON 1965 SPECIAL ROAST?
its chocolate-forward character and special roast level work well with brew methods that bring out body and sweetness, such as espresso, moka pot, or french press. dialling in a medium water temperature around 92, 94 degrees celsius will help avoid over-extraction of the darker roast notes.
