yunnan coffee
by rum baba coffeeroasters shop & brew-bar east · amsterdam, netherlands
you'll taste jasmine before floral. this is moonlight white tea - 40 gr, a honey yunnan from rum baba coffeeroasters shop & brew-bar east.
it tastes primarily tea-like, with jasmine and broader floral notes in the foreground, backed by black tea character and a natural sweetness from honey and honeycomb.
it is grown in the pu'er region of yunnan, china, and processed using the honey method, meaning some of the fruit mucilage is retained on the bean during drying, which contributes to its sweetness and body.
its delicate, tea-like profile responds well to brew methods that offer clarity and control, such as pour-over, using a slightly lower water temperature to avoid muting the jasmine and floral 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.
