by nostos coffee · london, uk
you'll taste stone fruit before tropical fruit. this is papayo (colombia), an anaerobic colombia from nostos coffee.
papayo tastes of stone fruit and tropical fruit with honey and honeycomb sweetness, a profile shaped by its anaerobic fermentation process. the result is a ripe, sweet cup with more fruit-forward character than a washed colombian.
papayo is grown in colombia and processed using an anaerobic method, meaning the coffee cherries ferment in sealed, oxygen-free tanks before drying. this extended fermentation is what drives its pronounced fruit and honey character.
a filter method such as pour-over or aeropress will highlight the stone fruit and tropical notes clearly, keeping the sweetness balanced. if brewing as espresso, aim for a slightly shorter extraction to avoid amplifying the fermented character that anaerobic coffees can develop when over-extracted.
you'd notice the olive trees first, standing either side of the st james's experience bar like they were always meant to be there. edison shehu opened nostos in nine elms in may 2021, named for the greek idea of homecoming, and that feeling carries through everything. the freeze-distilled flat white is the thing to order: milk frozen for seventeen hours, ice removed, what's left is noticeably sweeter without any added sugar. they tune water to each coffee, roast in-house, and bring in guest roasters worth paying attention to.
