kenya + peru coffee
by colonna & small's · bath, uk
you'll taste jasmine before floral. this is 025 - sl-09 washed, a washed kenya + peru from colonna & small's.
this coffee leads with jasmine and floral character, typical of the gesha varietal when processed using the washed method. the cup is clean and aromatic rather than fruit-heavy or sweet-leaning.
it is a gesha varietal grown across origins in kenya and peru, then processed using the washed method, which removes the fruit skin and pulp before drying. this approach highlights the inherent character of the bean rather than adding fermented or fruity influence.
filter methods such as pour-over suit washed gesha coffees well, as they preserve the clean, floral qualities the process and varietal produce. avoid coarse grinds or short brew times that might leave the jasmine notes underdeveloped.
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.
