common questions
What does La Virgen taste like?
la virgen leads with citrus, lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, with red apple adding a softer fruit note, then settles into milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and almond toward the finish.
How is La Virgen grown and processed?
it is a caturra varietal grown in huila, colombia, and processed using the washed method, which removes the fruit before drying and produces a cleaner, brighter cup.
How should I brew La Virgen?
the medium-dark roast works well as espresso or in a stovetop moka pot, though filter or french press will highlight the citrus and fruit notes if you prefer black coffee.
about artisan roast leith walk
leith walk has always had its own rhythm, a bit rougher and more lived-in than the new town postcards, and that suits artisan roast at 72-74 leith walk just fine. this isn't a place that smooths its edges for tourists. the roasting operation is genuine, not decorative, and if you care about where your coffee comes from and how it's been treated before it reaches the cup, you'll find the conversation here worth having. leith itself rewards the detour: it's a stretch of the city with real texture, and the cafe sits inside that rather than apart from it. come on a weekday morning before the street fully wakes up, and a flat white here is a decent reason to be out early.
