costa rica coffee
by phil & sebastian coffee roasters + bloom - marda loop · calgary, canada
you'll taste honey before honeycomb. this is honey haze espresso, a honey costa rica from phil & sebastian coffee roasters + bloom - marda loop.
it tastes of honey and honeycomb, characteristics that come directly from the honey processing method used on this costa rican coffee. those sweet, nectar-like qualities make it a good choice if you prefer espresso on the sweeter, less bitter end of the spectrum.
the coffee is grown in costa rica and dried using the honey process, meaning the skin is removed but some of the fruit's sugary mucilage remains on the bean while it dries. this extra contact time with the fruit pulp contributes the pronounced sweetness in the cup.
as the name suggests, it is intended for espresso, so a home espresso machine or moka pot will suit it best. brewing it as a straight shot or with a small amount of steamed milk will keep the honey and honeycomb notes prominent rather than diluting them.
phil & sebastian's marda loop outpost gets coffee right in ways that matter. the bloom location on 33rd avenue draws regulars who know the difference between decent coffee and coffee that actually cares about your morning. those 4.3 stars from 737 reviews tell a story about consistency, about baristas who understand extraction timing and milk texture without making a show of it. this isn't coffee theater. it's the real thing. you smell the roasting before you see the shop, that deep caramelized richness that only comes from beans treated with respect. the steam wand hisses with purpose, not performance. regulars order by name, not because it's trendy but because they've found something worth returning to. in a city where chain coffee dominates every corner, phil & sebastian remembers why independent roasters exist: to make coffee that tastes like someone actually gives a damn about what ends up in your cup.
