this is a washed kenyan ab grade coffee from mukuyuni, processed using a traditional 72-hour washed method that involves an extended fermentation before the coffee is dried. that longer fermentation contributes to the winey, fruit-forward character in the cup, with blackcurrant and stone fruit sitting alongside milk chocolate and dark chocolate in the finish. ab grade refers to screen size, a standard kenyan grading used for export. it suits filter brewing, where the fruit acidity and chocolate body can both come through cleanly without being muted. use water around 93-96°c and a medium-fine grind to balance brightness with sweetness.

about calico coffee
you notice the filter bar first, hand-built and low, the kind of thing someone who trained as an architect would obsess over. junchao jonny huang did exactly that before placing third at the 2023 uk brewers cup and opening calico on lower marsh near waterloo. dark wood, soft light, no wasted gestures. huang roasts some of the coffee himself, sources his own green, and still brings in guest roasters when it makes sense. every drink comes with an origin card. considered without being precious about it.
