gakuyu-ini pb #016 is a washed sl-28 peaberry from kirinyaga, kenya, roasted by scenery. peaberries are single, round beans that form when only one seed develops inside the coffee cherry, and sl-28 is a kenyan varietal known for pronounced fruit and acidity. the cup is sharp and bright, with lemon and red apple up front, blackcurrant and a winey quality in the mid-palate, and jasmine, black tea, and baking spice rounding things out. the washed process keeps things clean and precise. pour-over or aeropress suits this style well, using a medium-fine grind and water around 92-94°c to bring out the fruit without flattening the floral notes.

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.
