capulinero is a light roast from costa rica, produced by hej roastery and coffee house. it goes through an anaerobic process, where the coffee cherries ferment in a sealed, oxygen-free environment before milling. this approach tends to concentrate sugars and develop fruit-forward, complex flavours with a clean finish. as a light roast, the cup stays bright and retains origin character rather than leaning into roast flavour. it suits filter brewing, where lower temperatures and slower extraction highlight the nuance that anaerobic processing brings out.

common questions

What does Capulinero taste like?

capulinero is an anaerobic-processed light roast, so expect fruit-forward complexity with bright acidity and a clean finish rather than heavy roast or bitter notes.

How is Capulinero grown and processed?

the coffee comes from costa rica and is processed anaerobically, meaning the cherries ferment in sealed, oxygen-free tanks before the fruit is removed, which concentrates flavour and adds complexity.

How should I brew Capulinero?

as a light roast it performs well on filter methods such as pourover or aeropress, where you can control temperature and extraction time to highlight the brightness and fruit character the anaerobic process develops.

about hej roastery and coffee house

hej roastery takes roasting seriously, and that focus is obvious before you even order. the address is rodney road, se17, a corner of south london that doesn't get the foot traffic of bermondsey or brixton but holds its own. what you get here is coffee sourced and roasted on the premises, which means the gap between roast and cup is short, and that matters more than most cafes will admit. if you're the kind of person who wants to know where your coffee comes from and how it was treated before it reached you, this is somewhere worth the detour. the roastery side of the operation is the point, not a backstory. start with whatever's on filter.
