mango melt is a washed caturra from antioquia, colombia, roasted by formative. the washed process strips the cherry away before fermentation, which tends to produce a cleaner, more defined cup, letting the natural character of the caturra varietal come through without fruit-forward processing influence. the name points toward a soft, tropical sweetness in the cup. because no brew method or roast level was specified, a filter brew, such as a v60 or chemex, is a reliable starting point for washed colombians, keeping the cup clarity intact and allowing the sweeter notes to stay clean rather than muddied.

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.
