brazil + costa rica coffee
by redroaster st james's street · brighton, uk
you'll taste milk chocolate before dark chocolate. this is botanical punk – roasters pick, a washed brazil + costa rica from redroaster st james's street.
it leads with milk chocolate and moves into darker cocoa, giving a chocolate-focused cup with range from sweet to slightly bitter. there are no fruit or floral notes listed, so expect a clean, grounded profile.
the blend combines beans from brazil and costa rica, both processed using the washed method, where the fruit is removed before the beans are dried. washed processing generally emphasises clarity and consistency in the cup.
no specific brew method is specified by the roaster, but washed blends with a chocolate-forward profile tend to work well across filter and espresso. starting with a standard ratio and adjusting grind to taste is a reasonable approach.
down st james's street in kemptown, redroaster proves that brighton's coffee scene runs deeper than the tourist trail. this isn't another chain pumping out identical drinks. real care happens here. you can taste it in each cup, feel it in the way steam rises from properly extracted shots. the 4.4-star rating from nearly 1,300 reviews tells only part of the story. regulars don't just come for caffeine. they come because someone here actually knows what they're doing with beans. the difference shows immediately when you take that first sip. proper extraction. balanced flavor. none of that burnt bitterness that passes for coffee elsewhere. specialty coffee means something specific here. not marketing speak, but actual attention to origin, roast profiles, brewing methods. the kind of place where baristas understand the science behind what they're making. where conversations happen over counters sticky with the honest work of making hundreds of drinks daily. brighton's got plenty of coffee shops. few have earned this level of trust.
