this coffee is a geisha variety grown in panama across the tnt and santamaria jungle farms, then processed using the natural method, meaning the whole cherry is dried before the fruit is removed, which concentrates sugars and fruit character in the bean.
no specific brew recommendation was supplied with this lot, but natural geisha coffees generally respond well to pour-over or filter brewing, which highlights their aromatic complexity without masking it. confirm the roast level with r ki coffee lab to dial in water temperature and grind size.
richmond's specialty coffee scene has quietly grown into something worth paying attention to, shaped in part by the city's dense, food-serious culture and its proximity to vancouver without being beholden to it. r ki coffee lab sits on lansdowne road, in a stretch of richmond that runs busy and practical rather than precious, and that context matters. this isn't a place trying to aestheticize the neighborhood around it. what you get here is roasting and brewing taken seriously by people who've built a local reputation on consistency rather than noise. the standing it holds in richmond didn't come from foot traffic alone. if you're in the area mid-morning, the filter coffee is where to start.
