peru coffee
by nostos coffee · london, uk
you'll taste red apple before stone fruit. this is la danta (peru), a washed peru from nostos coffee.
la danta has flavors of red apple, peach, and stone fruit, with brown sugar adding a mild sweetness to the cup. the washed process keeps the profile clean and fruit-forward rather than heavy or syrupy.
it's grown in peru using caturra and bourbon varieties and processed using the washed method, where the fruit is removed before drying. this tends to produce a cleaner, more defined cup with clear acidity.
filter brewing suits this coffee well, as the washed process and lighter fruit notes come through clearly with methods like pour-over or batch brew. a medium grind and water around 90-94°c will help keep the acidity balanced and the sweetness intact.
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.
