kachara is an ethiopian coffee from long & short, processed using an anaerobic method. anaerobic fermentation, where the coffee cherries break down in a low-oxygen environment, tends to push fruit-forward and floral characteristics, which shows clearly here in the tropical fruit, jasmine, and floral notes. it suits brew methods that let those aromatics open up, such as pour over or filter, where the cleaner extraction keeps the florals distinct rather than muddied. grind fresh, use water around 93c, and avoid over-extraction to keep the lighter, fragrant qualities intact.

about long & short

good independent roasters in london don't always plant themselves where you'd expect. long & short is out in walthamstow, unit 5 of the crate building on st james street in e17, which means you're already off the tourist map before you've ordered anything. that's not a complaint. the area has its own pace, and a roaster with this kind of following tends to suit it. regulars here aren't casual about their coffee, and the shop doesn't treat them like they should be. what you get is a place that takes the sourcing and the roasting seriously enough that the cup reflects it, without making a ceremony of the fact. st james street on a weekday morning is a good place to find that out for yourself.
