el palto geisha is a washed peruvian coffee roasted by rounton coffee. the geisha variety, combined with washed processing, produces a clean, delicate cup with distinct stone fruit character, jasmine, and broader floral tones. the washed process strips away the fruit skin before drying, which keeps the flavour clarity high and lets the variety's natural aromatics come through without interference. it suits filter brewing, where lower temperatures and slower extraction preserve that floral lift. use a gentle pour, water around 90-93°c, and a medium-fine grind to keep things bright without tipping into bitterness.

about rounton coffee

the filter coffee here is worth planning around. rounton has been roasting out of east rounton, a quiet stretch of north yorkshire well outside any urban coffee circuit, long enough that their regulars treat the place less like a discovery and more like a given. that kind of quiet loyalty tends to mean something. if you're making the trip to northallerton, dl6 is not the most obvious postcode to find yourself in, but the people who do find it tend to come back. the roasting operation drives everything, so whatever's on the brew bar that week is probably the thing to order, not as a consolation for not getting espresso, but because it'll reflect exactly where their sourcing head is at. start with filter. end with filter, honestly.
