costa rica coffee
by colonna & small's · bath, uk
this is 002b - aquiares, an anaerobic costa rica from colonna & small's.
as an anaerobically processed costa rican coffee, it will likely deliver pronounced fruit-forward sweetness with structured fermentation character. no specific tasting notes were provided, so treat this as a general guide based on origin and process.
it is grown in costa rica and processed using an anaerobic method, where coffee cherries ferment in a sealed, low-oxygen environment before drying, which intensifies sweetness and fruit complexity.
colonna & small's roast style favours filter brewing, so a pour-over or batch filter will highlight the clarity and sweetness that anaerobic processing produces.
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.
