this is a natural-processed espresso from hacienda la union in costa rica, sourced from a cup of excellence lot by passport specialty coffee. drying the coffee with the fruit intact gives it a sweeter, fruitier character than washed costa ricans, showing up here as stone fruit, peach, and sugar cane. it pulls well as espresso, where pressure and concentration bring out the sweetness, but the fruit-forward profile also works in a moka pot or aeropress if you prefer something short and sweet. dial in on the lower end of your usual dose to keep the fruit clear rather than heavy.

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.
