colombia + panama coffee
by colonna & small's · bath, uk
you'll taste jasmine before floral. this is 005b - cgle 17 hybrid, an anaerobic colombia + panama from colonna & small's.
this coffee leads with jasmine and floral notes, qualities shaped by its gesha and caturra hybrid genetics and anaerobic processing. the overall character is aromatic and flower-forward.
it is grown in the boquete region across colombia and panama from a gesha and caturra hybrid varietal, then processed using anaerobic fermentation. anaerobic processing involves sealing the coffee in a low-oxygen environment during fermentation, which tends to intensify aromatic complexity.
filter or pour-over brewing methods are well suited to this coffee, as they preserve the delicate jasmine and floral notes that define it. avoid high brew temperatures that can mute those lighter aromatic qualities.
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.
