you'll taste blackcurrant before jasmine. this is colombia el jaragual castillo thermal shock 200g, an experimental colombia from java roastery.
it tastes of blackcurrant and jasmine with a pronounced floral character. the experimental thermal shock processing amplifies these fruity and aromatic qualities compared to a conventionally processed coffee.
it is a castillo-variety coffee grown in antioquia, colombia, and processed using an experimental thermal shock method, which uses controlled temperature shifts during processing to influence fermentation and flavour development.
filter brewing suits this coffee well, as it preserves the delicate floral and blackcurrant notes that the experimental processing produces. keep water temperature on the lower side to avoid overpowering the jasmine and fruit characteristics.
tucked along colmore row in birmingham's business district, java roastery does what too many coffee shops forget: they actually roast. the smell hits you first, that deep, toasted warmth that only comes from beans roasted on-site. none of that stale, weeks-old stuff from corporate chains. their 4.5 stars from nearly 800 google reviews tell the real story. regulars know the baristas by voice, not name tags. they remember your order without the forced familiarity of chain training. the coffee here tastes like someone cares about it, which they do. what sets java roastery apart isn't flashy machinery or trendy aesthetics. it's the simple fact that when you order an espresso, you're drinking beans that were probably roasted this week, maybe yesterday. that freshness comes through in every cup, bright, clean, with the kind of complexity you can't fake with syrups or fancy milk art.
