sholi top lot is a washed rwandan coffee roasted by caravan at their king's cross restaurant. the washed process strips the fruit before drying, which typically produces a clean, defined cup that highlights the bean's inherent character rather than fermentation-driven sweetness. without additional tasting notes or roast level supplied, the safest approach is to treat it as you would most specialty washed africans: filter brewing, a medium-fine grind, water around 93c, and a slow pour to keep clarity at the fore. worth asking caravan directly for current harvest tasting notes before buying.

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.
