finca carrizal is a honey-processed coffee from costa rica, roasted by bard coffee. honey processing means the coffee cherry's mucilage is left on the bean during drying, which contributes to its sweetness and body. in the cup it shows blueberry and hibiscus on the fruit side, with honey and honeycomb in the mid-palate, and milk chocolate through dark chocolate on the finish. because of its fruit-forward sweetness and fuller body, it suits brewing methods that highlight sweetness and clarity, such as pour-over or aeropress, where you can dial in water temperature and ratio to keep the fruit notes bright without over-extracting the chocolate base.

about bard coffee

portland's coffee scene runs deeper than the tourist maps suggest. you'll find the real action scattered through neighborhoods where locals actually live and work. bard coffee sits on middle street like it's been part of the landscape for decades, though the steady stream of people walking in with their own mugs suggests something more recent. this isn't a place trying to impress anyone with flashy setups or complicated menu boards. the coffee speaks first. regulars here have strong opinions about what constitutes good coffee, and they keep coming back for reasons that have nothing to do with convenience or location. some mornings the line stretches past the door, but nobody seems particularly bothered by the wait. the beans rotate seasonally, the brewing stays consistent, and the whole operation feels like it knows exactly what it's doing. middle street gets busy around lunch, but the afternoon pour-overs hit different when the neighborhood settles into its quieter rhythm.
