ethiopia + brazil coffee
by redroaster st james's street · brighton, uk
you'll taste tropical fruit before winey. this is tropical savanna, a natural ethiopia + brazil from redroaster st james's street.
expect tropical fruit and winey acidity up front, jasmine and broader floral notes in the middle, and milk chocolate and dark chocolate through the finish. the natural process makes the fruit character pronounced rather than subtle.
the coffee comes from ethiopia's guji region and brazil, and both components are naturally processed, meaning the whole coffee cherry is dried intact, which concentrates fruit sugars and produces the winey, floral profile in the cup.
filter methods such as pour-over or french press suit naturally processed, fruit-forward coffees like this, as they let the tropical and floral notes develop clearly. keep water temperature around 92, 94 celsius and avoid over-extraction to preserve the winey brightness rather than amplifying bitterness.
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.
