costa rica coffee
by colonna & small's · bath, uk
expect winey. this is discovery beans, a costa rica from colonna & small's.
discovery beans has winey tasting notes, meaning you can expect a fermented, ripe-fruit quality with depth and some complexity rather than a clean or delicate profile.
it comes from the west valley region of costa rica, an area known for high-altitude growing conditions, though specific processing details have not been provided for this lot.
no specific roast level or brew method has been listed, but winey, fruit-forward coffees like this generally perform well on filter or pour-over, which highlight their character without muddying the fermented notes.
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.
