you'll taste tropical fruit before honey. this is kaleidoscope 3.1 - strawberry vanilla sky, an experimental colombia from rum baba coffeeroasters shop & brew-bar east.
it leads with tropical fruit and layers of honey and honeycomb, giving it a sweet, fruit-forward character. the experimental processing amplifies that natural sweetness from the bourbon varietal.
it's a bourbon varietal grown in huila, colombia, and put through an experimental process by rum baba coffeeroasters. experimental processing typically involves extended or unconventional fermentation steps that enhance fruit and sugar-forward flavours.
as a light roast, it responds well to gentle brew methods like pour-over or aeropress using water around 88-92°c. avoid high-pressure or very high-temperature brewing, which can overshadow the delicate tropical fruit and honey notes.
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.
