colombia coffee
by dark arts coffee · london, uk
expect stone fruit. this is eternal light - colombia, a washed colombia from dark arts coffee.
the tasting notes centre on stone fruit, think peach or nectarine-like sweetness, which is characteristic of pink bourbon and bourbon varietals processed under the washed method. the cup is likely clean and defined rather than heavy or syrupy.
the coffee is grown in huila, colombia, using pink bourbon and bourbon varietals, then processed using the washed method, which removes the fruit skin and pulp before drying to produce a cleaner, brighter cup.
the clean profile from the washed process suits filter methods such as v60 or chemex, where clarity and sweetness are easier to highlight. aim for a medium grind and water around 90 to 94c to avoid muting the stone fruit character.
the name suggests something a bit rebellious, and dark arts coffee delivers exactly that kind of independent spirit on rosina street in hackney. this isn't your sanitized chain experience. the beans tell stories through careful roasting, each cup carrying the weight of someone who actually gives a damn about what they're serving. regulars know what they're getting here. not just caffeine, but coffee that's been treated with respect from green bean to final sip. the kind of place where the barista remembers your order not because of some loyalty app, but because they see you most mornings and care about getting it right. with 4.7 stars from nearly 450 reviews, people clearly appreciate the difference. hackney's got plenty of coffee options, but places like this remind you why independent roasters matter. they're not optimizing for shareholders. they're optimizing for that moment when you take your first sip and think, yes, this is exactly what coffee should taste like.
