this is 023 - typica mejorado tyoxidator, an anaerobic ecuador from colonna & small's.
specific tasting notes were not supplied for this lot, but anaerobic processing on a typica varietal commonly produces heightened fruit sweetness and a clean fermentation-driven complexity. expect the typica base to keep things structured rather than wild.
it is a typica varietal grown in ecuador and processed using an anaerobic method, meaning the coffee ferments in a sealed, oxygen-free environment before drying. this process distinguishes it from a standard washed or natural ecuadorian coffee.
a filter brew method such as pour-over is a sensible starting point, as it tends to highlight the clarity and fruit character that anaerobic processing produces. no specific roast level was provided, so start with standard filter parameters and adjust grind and temperature to taste.
you can feel the seriousness the moment you walk in. colonna & small's opened in bath in 2009 after maxwell colonna-dashwood and lesley came back from melbourne with a very specific idea of what coffee could be. maxwell went on to win the uk barista championship three times, in 2012, 2014 and 2015, and the place was named best coffee shop in europe in 2016. he also co-authored actual water-science research with chemist christopher hendon. a second spot opened on london's leather lane in 2023. this is not background noise coffee.
