kenya coffee
by reunion coffee roasters · toronto, canada
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is sierra verde, a kenya from reunion coffee roasters.
sierra verde has bright citrus character, lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, balanced by milk chocolate and dark chocolate, giving it both acidity and a rounded, slightly sweet finish.
sierra verde is sourced from kenya, a region well regarded for high-altitude growing conditions that produce coffees with distinct acidity, though no specific farm, altitude, or processing method has been provided for this lot.
as a medium roast, sierra verde suits filter methods such as pour over or batch brew, where the citrus notes can develop clearly, use a brew temperature around 90 to 93 degrees celsius to keep the brightness without over-extracting the acidity.
the espresso here is the thing to start with. reunion coffee roasters has built a real reputation on roncesvalles, a street that already knows what it wants and doesn't need convincing. you pull up to 385 roncesvalles ave and you're in a neighbourhood that runs on coffee and groceries and long weekend mornings, and reunion fits that rhythm without forcing it. the espresso is taken seriously, which sounds obvious until you've had enough mediocre pulls to appreciate what that actually means. locally well regarded, and that local part matters, because roncesvalles regulars are not especially forgiving. come on a slow weekday if you can. order the espresso straight.
