you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is no stone estate, china - bergamot enzyme honey, an anaerobic yunnan from carrara coffee roasters.
expect lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest up front, with a winey quality running through the middle and jasmine, floral, honey, and honeycomb rounding out the finish. the bergamot enzyme honey process gives it an aromatic, slightly fermented character that sets it apart from more straightforward washed or natural coffees.
this coffee comes from no stone estate in yunnan, china, and is processed using an anaerobic bergamot enzyme honey method, meaning the coffee ferments in a low-oxygen environment with bergamot enzyme added during the honey process. that combination of anaerobic fermentation and retained fruit mucilage is what produces the pronounced citrus and winey tasting notes.
filter brewing suits this coffee well, as it gives the floral and citrus notes room to come through cleanly without muddying the more delicate jasmine and honeycomb qualities. a moderate water temperature and careful grind calibration will help keep the winey fermented character in balance rather than letting it dominate the cup.
good roasters in market harborough don't announce themselves loudly. carrara coffee roasters sits out on harrison road at the airfield business park, which isn't the kind of postcode that pulls casual foot traffic, and yet people keep finding their way there. that alone says something about how seriously they take the sourcing and roasting side of things. if you're the sort of person who wants to understand what's actually in your cup rather than just drink something warm and brown, this is a place worth the detour. the regulars who've settled into a routine here aren't doing it out of habit. they're doing it because the coffee keeps meeting them at the same level. start with a filter on a weekday morning, before harrison road gets busy.
