003b, el zacatin is a gesha varietal from antioquia, colombia, roasted by colonna and small's. it undergoes anaerobic processing, where the coffee cherries ferment in a low-oxygen environment before drying, a method that typically amplifies fruity and floral characteristics. in the cup, expect tropical fruit alongside jasmine and broader floral qualities. gesha is a delicate varietal that rewards careful brewing, so a gentle approach, pour-over or similar filter method with precise temperature control, will best preserve the aromatic complexity this processing and varietal combination produces.

about colonna & small's
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.
