costa rica coffee
by darkstar coffee roasters · perth, australia
you'll taste honey before honeycomb. this is las lajas, costa rica, a honey costa rica from darkstar coffee roasters.
las lajas leads with honey and honeycomb, reflecting the sweetness drawn out by the honey process during drying. the cup is smooth and naturally sweet without added ingredients.
it is grown in costa rica using the caturra varietal and processed using the honey method, where the mucilage is left on the bean during drying to build sweetness and body.
filter brewing methods like pour over or drip work well here, letting the honey sweetness come through clearly. a medium grind and water around 93c are a reliable starting point.
the beans hit differently at darkstar coffee roasters, tucked away on frobisher street in osborne park. not the kind of place you stumble into by accident. regulars know the difference between coffee that's just caffeinated and coffee that's actually considered, and they keep coming back for a reason. the smell greets you first, not just roasted coffee but the particular sweetness of beans treated right. each cup carries the weight of decisions made carefully: when to pull the shot, how long to let the beans rest, the temperature that coaxes out complexity instead of bitterness. it's the kind of attention that separates true roasters from places that just happen to serve coffee. with 256 google reviews averaging 4.8 stars, the numbers tell part of the story. but numbers can't capture the satisfaction of that first sip or the way steam curls from a properly heated cup. that's something you taste, not rate.
