pitaya is a natural-process colombian coffee from huila, roasted by caravan king's cross restaurant. it's made from pink bourbon and bourbon varietals, two cultivars associated with sweetness and complexity in the cup. natural processing, where the cherry dries around the bean, typically pushes fruit-forward flavours and fuller body. huila is one of colombia's more respected growing regions, known for well-defined coffees with good acidity. brew it with a method that suits fruit-driven naturals, such as filter or pour-over, where clarity and sweetness can come through without being masked.
common questions
What does Pitaya taste like?
pitaya is a natural-process coffee, which typically produces fruit-forward, sweet, and full-bodied cups. the pink bourbon and bourbon varietals add depth and a softness associated with those cultivars.
How is Pitaya grown and processed?
it's grown in huila, colombia, from pink bourbon and bourbon plants, and processed naturally, meaning the whole coffee cherry is dried before the bean is extracted, which concentrates sweetness and fruit character.
How should I brew Pitaya?
a filter or pour-over method suits this coffee well, allowing the fruit-forward qualities from the natural process to come through cleanly. avoid over-extraction, which can make naturals taste jammy or heavy.
about caravan king's cross restaurant
granary square buzzes with that particular king's cross energy, but caravan cuts through the chaos with something quieter. better. the kind of place where your barista remembers how you take your flat white, even when the weekend brunch crowd threatens to overwhelm the space. over 5,500 google reviews average out to 4.5 stars, which tells you something about consistency. not flashy consistency, the real kind. beans roasted with the sort of attention that makes regulars protective of their favorite corner table. the coffee tastes like someone actually cares about extraction ratios and grind size, not just instagram aesthetics. weekend mornings here feel different than the chain alternatives scattered across london. maybe it's the way steam hisses from the machine with purpose, or how the ceramic cups hold heat just long enough. caravan doesn't need gimmicks when the fundamentals work this well.
