by sea island coffee · london, uk
this is green panama, hacienda la esmeralda - bourbon pointu, a washed panama from sea island coffee.
as a green coffee, the final flavour depends on how you roast it, but washed bourbon pointu from boquete is typically clean and delicate, with the refined character that hacienda la esmeralda is known for. a light roast will best express the varietal and origin qualities.
it is grown at hacienda la esmeralda in boquete, panama, using the bourbon pointu varietal, a rare mutation of bourbon. it is processed using the washed method, which removes fruit before drying and produces a clean, clear cup.
this coffee is sold green and must be home-roasted before brewing. once roasted, a light roast is recommended to honour the delicate washed bourbon pointu character, and a filter or pour-over brew method will highlight its clarity.
sea island coffee roasts with intention, and you can feel that in every cup before you've even finished it. old brompton road isn't the kind of street that rewards half-measures, and this place seems to know that. independent roasters in london live or die by repeat custom, and the loyalty sea island has built says more than any single visit could. what keeps people coming back isn't novelty. it's consistency, the quiet confidence of a roaster that has figured out what it's doing and sees no reason to overcorrect. if you're in sw5 with time to spare, the morning filter is where to start.
