scarlet berry is a natural-processed coffee from peru, roasted by boxwood coffee. it's made from caturra and bourbon varietals, two classic arabica cultivars known for clean, fruit-forward cups. the natural process, where the cherry dries around the bean, draws out stone fruit and peach character with a sweetness typical of the method. because natural coffees carry more fruit intensity, brewing methods that highlight sweetness and body work well here. try a pour-over or french press at a medium-coarse grind, and avoid over-extraction, which can push the fruit toward fermented territory.
common questions
What does Scarlet Berry taste like?
scarlet berry is described as tasting of stone fruit and peach, flavors that come through clearly in natural-processed coffees where the fruit dries on the bean during processing.
How is Scarlet Berry grown and processed?
it's grown in peru using caturra and bourbon varietals, and it's processed naturally, meaning the whole coffee cherry is dried before the bean is extracted, which concentrates fruit flavors in the cup.
How should I brew Scarlet Berry?
brewing methods that highlight sweetness and body, such as pour-over or french press, suit this coffee well. keep water temperature around 90-93°c and avoid over-extraction to keep the fruit character clean rather than fermented.
about boxwood coffee
their flat white hits differently than most places manage. you get that proper microfoam texture without the theatrical pour-over ceremony some spots feel compelled to perform. boxwood keeps things straightforward on beechwood road, which works in summit where people want good coffee without having to decode a menu written like poetry. the beans come through clean, whether you order espresso or something milk-based. they've built a solid reputation locally by focusing on consistency rather than chasing trends that disappear in six months. the space feels lived-in rather than designed for photo shoots. you won't find exotic single origins with backstories about specific farmers, but what they do roast, they do well. grab their cortado if you want something that balances milk and coffee without drowning either one.
