ethiopia coffee · decaf
by colonna & small's · bath, uk
you'll taste stone fruit before jasmine. this is decaf beans, an ethiopia from colonna & small's.
the cup leads with stone fruit and jasmine, sitting within a broader floral profile, making it softer and more delicate than a typical bold roast.
the coffee originates from ethiopia, a country with a long history of coffee cultivation, and has been decaffeinated, though the specific decaf method is not detailed in the available information.
decaf beans can over-extract more readily than caffeinated ones, so a slightly coarser grind and careful brew time will help preserve the floral and stone fruit notes without bitterness.
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.
