indonesia + sumatra coffee
by colonna & small's · bath, uk
you'll taste baking spice before spice. this is discovery specialty instant coffee (box of 6 sachets), a natural indonesia + sumatra from colonna & small's.
it leads with baking spice and broader spice notes, undercut by earthiness and a mushroom-savoury quality. it is not a sweet or fruity cup, it sits on the deeper, more savoury end of the flavour spectrum.
the coffee comes from sumatra, indonesia, and is naturally processed, meaning the beans are dried inside the whole fruit before milling. this approach is consistent with the earthy and savoury tasting notes in the finished cup.
dissolve one sachet in hot water, no equipment needed. the sachet format is designed for convenience, so it suits travel, work, or any situation where a brewer is not available.
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.
