solo is a washed guatemalan coffee from colonna & small's, sourced from the huehuetenango region. huehuetenango sits at high altitude in guatemala's northwest, and the washed process means the fruit is removed before drying, keeping the cup clean and highlighting the bean's inherent character. without additional tasting notes supplied, expect the clarity and brightness typical of washed central americans from this region. it suits filter brewing, where a longer, gentler extraction lets the cleaner flavors come through without interference.

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.
