kenya coffee · decaf
by baristocracy coffee · wallsend, uk
expect cocoa. this is limited edition decaf – kenya, a washed kenya from baristocracy coffee.
the listed tasting note is cocoa, pointing to a chocolatey, relatively straightforward cup. the washed process tends to keep the flavour clean and well-defined rather than fruity or heavy.
this coffee comes from kenya and uses a washed process, meaning the cherry is removed and the beans are fermented and rinsed before drying. it has also been decaffeinated, though the specific decaf method is not stated.
no specific brew method was provided for this coffee, but washed kenyan decafs generally perform well as filter or espresso. use water around 93-96°c for filter and dial back slightly for espresso to avoid a bitter finish.
the filter coffee here is the thing to start with, assuming you haven't already gone straight for an espresso-based drink out of habit. baristocracy operates out of west chirton north industrial estate, which is the kind of postcode that filters out anyone who isn't genuinely interested in what's being roasted and sold there. that self-selection matters. the people who find their way to larch court tend to know what they want, and the roastery has built a following that keeps coming back with purpose rather than convenience. you won't stumble in off a high street. what's there instead is a place where the coffee is treated as the actual point, not a side note to a loyalty card scheme. go for the filter on your first visit, then take something home.
