nicaragua coffee
by gold star coffee · woodbridge, canada
you'll taste honey before honeycomb. this is nicaragua red honey - el especial microlot, a honey nicaragua from gold star coffee.
this coffee tastes of honey and honeycomb, sweetness that comes directly from the red honey process used during production. the medium roast keeps those natural sugars prominent without adding heavy roast character.
it is a caturra varietal grown in nicaragua and processed as a red honey, meaning the coffee is dried with a portion of the fruit mucilage still attached to the seed. this contributes the sticky, sweet character in the finished cup.
at a medium roast, this coffee works well as a filter brew, such as pour over or drip, which lets the honey sweetness come through clearly. keep water temperature around 90 to 94c and avoid over-extraction to preserve the delicate sweet notes.
the hanlan road industrial strip doesn't scream specialty coffee, but gold star proves location isn't everything. tucked into unit 12, this woodbridge roaster has built something remarkable, a 4.9-star rating from 289 google reviews doesn't happen by accident. walk in and you'll smell what sets them apart. fresh-roasted beans carry that bright, almost fruity scent that only comes from careful sourcing and precise roasting. the regulars know what they want before the door closes behind them, but newcomers get the kind of patient guidance that turns first visits into weekly habits. no corporate playbook here. just people who care about coffee talking to people who want to drink better coffee. the kind of place where they remember your order and actually mean it when they ask how your week's going. that warmth, combined with consistently excellent coffee, explains why this industrial park gem outshines most downtown cafes.
