colombia coffee
by formative · westminster, uk
this is peachy, an anaerobic colombia from formative.
the name and anaerobic process suggest a fruit-forward, fermentation-driven profile with stone fruit character. expect a sweeter, more expressive cup rather than a bright or neutral one.
it's grown in huila, colombia, and processed anaerobically, where coffee cherries ferment in sealed tanks without oxygen before drying, intensifying fruit and fermentation flavors.
no specific brew method or roast level was provided, but anaerobic colombians from huila generally perform well as filter or pour-over, which lets the fruit character come through cleanly without added pressure or milk.
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.
