nectar mist is a washed colombian coffee from formative, sourced from antioquia and grown across four varietals, gesha, pink bourbon, bourbon, and typica. the washed process strips away the fruit layer before drying, which tends to produce clean, clearly defined cups. jasmine and floral characteristics are the defining flavors here, the kind of delicate aromatics that gesha and pink bourbon are known for contributing. to protect those lighter floral qualities, brew with water just off the boil and aim for a gentle, even extraction, a pour-over or filter method will give the clarity this coffee is built for.

nectar mist is described with jasmine and floral tasting notes, reflecting the aromatic qualities typical of its gesha and pink bourbon varietals. expect a delicate, fragrant cup rather than a heavily fruited or chocolatey one.
How is NECTAR MIST grown and processed?
it is grown in antioquia, colombia, using a blend of gesha, pink bourbon, bourbon, and typica varietals, and processed using the washed method. washed processing removes the coffee cherry before drying, which tends to highlight clean floral and nuanced flavors in the cup.

a filter or pour-over brew method suits this coffee well, as the clean, washed processing and delicate floral notes benefit from the clarity those methods provide. keep your grind consistent and your technique gentle to avoid masking the jasmine characteristics.
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.
