this is a gesha and caturra blend from el vergel in tolima, colombia, roasted by passport specialty coffee for espresso. it's processed anaerobically, which involves fermenting the coffee in sealed, oxygen-deprived tanks before drying, and that process drives the pronounced tropical fruit and winey character you get in the cup alongside jasmine, floral notes, and a black tea finish. expect something fragrant and fruit-forward with real complexity. pull it as espresso using a longer ratio, around 1:2.5 or beyond, to keep the sweetness and florals in balance and avoid over-extracting the winey intensity.

about passport specialty coffee

the single origin filter is where you should probably start, if you're the kind of person who wants to actually taste what a roaster is doing rather than just get caffeinated. passport specialty coffee sits on toombul road in northgate, a quieter pocket of brisbane's north that doesn't get the foot traffic of newstead or fortitude valley, which means the people who end up here tend to mean it. regulars clearly feel that way, and they keep coming back. the roasting operation gives you something most suburban cafes can't, which is coffee that moves with the seasons and changes when the sourcing changes. if you're there in the morning, the filter is the call.
