costa rica coffee
by blackstar coffee roasters - west end · brisbane, australia
you'll taste stone fruit before brown sugar. this is *filter roast* costa rica - red honey (limited release), a honey costa rica from blackstar coffee roasters - west end.
it tastes of stone fruit and honeycomb with a brown sugar sweetness underlying the cup. the red honey process gives it a fuller, slightly sticky sweetness compared to a washed costa rica.
the coffee is grown in costa rica and processed using the red honey method, where a portion of the fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying. this sits between a washed and natural process, contributing to the fruit and sweetness in the final cup.
it's roasted specifically for filter brewing, so pour over or batch filter are the right fit. brew at around 93c with a medium-fine grind to preserve the stone fruit and honey notes without over-extracting.
