costa rica coffee
by gazecafe · taipei, taiwan
you'll taste raisin before honey. this is 淺中焙|哥斯大黎加 米拉蘇 黑蜜 costa rica tarrazu mirazu, a honey costa rica from gazecafe.
it tastes sweet and chocolatey, with raisin, honey, and honeycomb alongside milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and cocoa. the black honey process gives it a denser sweetness than a washed coffee from the same origin.
it comes from the tarrazu region in costa rica and is processed using the black honey method, where most of the fruit mucilage is left on the bean as it dries. this contributes to its pronounced sweetness and fruit-chocolate character.
filter or pour over methods work well for a light roast like this, allowing the honey-process sweetness and chocolate notes to come through without over-extraction. aim for a slightly lower water temperature, around 90-92°c, to keep the cup balanced.
the flat white here pulls shots that actually have character. not the kind of coffee you find at chain spots scattered throughout taipei. you're in wanhua district, where guangzhou street runs through neighborhoods that feel more lived-in than polished. gazelatte draws people who care about what's in their cup, and they keep coming back for reasons that go deeper than convenience. the beans get attention here. real attention. not the kind of place that throws around fancy origin names they can't back up, but somewhere that knows what good coffee should taste like. the space fills with people who understand the difference between decent coffee and coffee worth making a trip for. order the americano if you want to taste what they're actually doing with their roast.
