costa rica coffee
by blackstar coffee roasters - west end · brisbane, australia
you'll taste stone fruit before brown sugar. this is *espresso roast* costa rica - red honey (limited release), a honey costa rica from blackstar coffee roasters - west end.
expect stone fruit, brown sugar, honey, and honeycomb, with the red honey process lending a natural sweetness and rounded body. it leans sweet rather than sharp or acidic.
this coffee comes from costa rica and is processed using the honey method, meaning the coffee is dried with some of the fruit mucilage still attached to the bean. the red honey designation indicates a higher amount of mucilage left on, which contributes to its sweetness and body.
it is roasted specifically for espresso, so pulling it as a shot or using it in milk-based drinks like a flat white or latte will give you the best results. the sweetness from the honey process pairs particularly well with milk.
