costa rica coffee
by rum baba coffeeroasters shop & brew-bar east · amsterdam, netherlands
you'll taste tropical fruit before jasmine. this is costa rica san isidro - low on stock, an anaerobic costa rica from rum baba coffeeroasters shop & brew-bar east.
it tastes of tropical fruit with jasmine and floral notes, a profile shaped by the anaerobic process applied to the typica varietal. the combination tends toward sweet and aromatic rather than sharp or bitter.
it is a typica varietal grown in costa rica and processed anaerobically, where the coffee cherries ferment in a sealed, oxygen-limited environment before being dried. that controlled fermentation is what drives the tropical fruit and floral character in the cup.
filter brewing methods such as pour-over or aeropress suit this coffee well, as they allow the floral and tropical fruit notes from the anaerobic process to come through cleanly. use water around 90 to 93 degrees celsius to avoid scorching the more delicate aromatic compounds.
both roasting and serving out of the same operation takes a particular kind of commitment, and rum baba on pretoriusstraat does exactly that. you're in the oost neighbourhood here, far enough from the tourist drag that the people coming through the door are mostly locals who've made a deliberate choice to be here. the roasting side of things shapes what ends up in your cup, which is a different proposition from a shop that just buys in wholesale and moves on. east amsterdam has its own unhurried pace, and this place fits that rhythm. if you get there on a weekday morning, pretoriusstraat is quiet enough that you can actually sit with whatever they're pouring and not feel rushed through it.
