Black Rose Coffee Roasters

single-origin pour overs are where black rose tends to shine, so if you're walking in undecided, that's the honest starting point. the roastery sits on se 34th ave in the richmond district, which is one of those portland neighborhoods that still feels like a place people actually live rather than a stage set. you get a different pace here than you do closer to the pearl or downtown, and that tends to suit a slower, more deliberate cup. black rose operates with the kind of specificity you'd expect from a roaster that cares where the beans come from and how they're handled before they reach the bag. a well-pulled espresso in the afternoon, or a pour over when you have a few minutes to actually sit, is the move.
