common questions
What does DECAF - POPAYÁN taste like?
it has jasmine and floral aromatics with caramel and sugar cane sweetness coming through, qualities that come from both the caturra varietal and the natural processing used on this colombian coffee.
How is DECAF - POPAYÁN grown and processed?
it is a caturra varietal grown in the cauca region around popayán, colombia, and processed naturally, meaning the whole coffee cherry is dried before the bean is extracted, which adds fruit-forward sweetness to the cup.
How should I brew DECAF - POPAYÁN?
filter methods such as pour over or aeropress suit natural decafs well, brew at around 90 to 92 celsius to keep the floral and caramel notes clear and avoid pushing any bitterness.
about formative
you should know who ian kissick is before you walk in. the 2023 uk barista champion, sixth at the 2024 worlds in athens, he opened formative back in march 2019 at buckingham green near victoria, long before the accolades. the room is minimal, almost austere, coffee doing all the talking. since 2022, kissick and head roaster nicholas pastellopoulos have been running their own roasting out of plot in south london, chasing high-process and managed-fermentation lots that taste genuinely unlike anything obvious.
