colombia ribena is a single-origin coffee from huila, a high-altitude department in southern colombia known for producing fruit-forward lots. it's put through an experimental process, which typically involves non-standard fermentation or anaerobic techniques that push the natural fruit character of the bean further than a washed or natural process would. the result is a pronounced blackcurrant flavour, sharp and berry-like, with the kind of intensity that suits filter brewing, where clarity and acidity read cleanly. keep your brew temperature slightly lower, around 90-92°c, to avoid tipping the fruit notes into bitterness.

about gold box roastery

a roastery worth the trek out to blaydon-on-tyne, which isn't the first place most people think to go looking for specialty coffee. vance court sits inside transbritannia enterprise park, the kind of industrial address that tends to filter out anyone who isn't genuinely curious, and that's not a bad thing. gold box is focused on roasting, which means if you're here, you're probably here on purpose. specialty coffee at source level, before it becomes a brand or a vibe. the standing is strong enough that you don't need to take anyone's word for it, just show up. and the most direct reason to do that: fresh-roasted coffee you can take home and actually taste the difference in your own kitchen.
