by bench coffee co. roastery · brunswick, australia
you'll taste red apple before black tea. this is didier pajoy, colombia, a washed colombia from bench coffee co. roastery.
it tastes like red apple and black tea, with a tea-like delicacy that makes the cup feel clean and bright rather than bold or sweet. the acidity is crisp and defined, and the finish is dry in the way a good loose-leaf tea is.
it is a caturra varietal grown in huila, colombia, and processed using the washed method, which strips the fruit skin and pulp before drying to produce a clean, clear cup with well-defined acidity.
filter brewing methods such as pour over work well here, as they highlight the tea-like clarity and red apple brightness that define this washed colombian. keeping your water temperature moderate and your brew time controlled will help preserve those delicate qualities.
a roastery that actually roasts, on breese street in brunswick, is rarer than it sounds. plenty of places in this city call themselves roasters and mean it loosely. bench coffee co. takes it literally, which means what's in your cup was probably turned here, on this street, not shipped in finished from somewhere else and quietly rebranded. brunswick makes sense for it, a suburb that's been quietly serious about food and coffee longer than most people give it credit for. the regulars who keep coming back aren't doing it out of habit or proximity alone. if you're in the area on a weekday morning, breese street is worth the detour.
