colombia coffee

you'll taste honey before honeycomb. this is コロンビア エキゾチックストロベリー, a honey colombia from coffee roast sai.
the cup leads with honey and honeycomb, making it a noticeably sweet, syrupy coffee. the honey process amplifies those natural sugars, so expect a smooth, sweet character throughout.
this coffee comes from colombia and is processed using the honey method, where some or all of the fruit mucilage is left on the bean as it dries. that retained mucilage contributes directly to the sweetness you taste in the cup.
a pour over is a good starting point, as it lets the honey-forward sweetness come through without muddying the flavors. if you prefer a heavier, more textured cup, a french press is worth trying.
your hands will shake slightly after sai's first sip. this tokyo roaster sources exclusively through japan specialty coffee, turning single origins into something that hits like concentrated sunshine. the man behind the operation treats each bean like calligraphy, precise and deliberate. his medium roasts carry notes that linger on your tongue for minutes, not seconds. the shop smells like brown butter and possibility. sai doesn't just roast coffee. he translates it.
