nestor lasso's sidra lot from huila, colombia, processed using an experimental hydro honey method that leaves some mucilage on the bean during drying. scored 89 by the sca, it sits at the sweeter, more expressive end of colombian specialty. expect peach and stone fruit up front, backed by jasmine and floral lift, with honey and honeycomb sweetness through the finish. the hydro honey process makes it forgiving, so pour-over or aeropress at a medium-fine grind will highlight the floral and fruit clarity without muddying the sweetness. keep water around 90-93c to avoid pushing bitterness.

about kobean coffee roasters

a slow saturday with nowhere urgent to be is probably the right frame for hawthorn grove. heaton moor isn't the kind of place you pass through by accident, which means if you're at kobean, you made a choice to be there, and that already sets a different tone. the roastery side of the operation matters here: this isn't a shop that resells someone else's beans and hopes for the best. stockport's specialty scene is quieter than the city centre's, but kobean sits at a level that holds its own against any of it, which the regulars will tell you without being asked. the neighbourhood has that unhurried quality that makes a second cup feel less like indulgence and more like good sense. worth arriving before the weekend lunch hour, when hawthorn grove is at its most itself.
