this is a honey-processed sidra from the maputo farm in pichincha, ecuador, and it placed in the cup of excellence, a competition that independently verifies exceptional quality. the blend of sl-28, caturra, bourbon, and typica varietals, combined with honey processing, gives the cup a clear structure: bright lemon acidity, blackcurrant fruit, and a sweetness that moves between honey and honeycomb. because honey processing retains some of the fruit's mucilage, expect a fuller body than a washed coffee. it suits filter brewing, where that layered sweetness and citrus clarity can develop without pressure flattening the detail.

common questions

What does Ecuador - Maputo "Hakuna Matata" Sidra taste like?

How should I brew Ecuador - Maputo "Hakuna Matata" Sidra?

filter brewing, such as a v60 or similar pour-over, suits this coffee well, as it allows the lemon acidity and layered honey sweetness to come through clearly. use water around 92-94°c and a medium-fine grind to avoid muting the fruit.

about scenery

you can smell the loring before you see it. scenery sits inside jerwood space, a former victorian school on union street in southwark, and it's one of the few places in central london actually roasting on site, a s35 that pulls light and seasonal. six or seven filters rotate on the poursteady at any given time. the founders have a sprudgie for their design and a genuine allergy to coffee snobbery, which means the conversation stays easy. serious coffee, relaxed delivery. southwark's best kept secret, honestly.
