costa rica coffee
by sea island coffee · london, uk
you'll taste tropical fruit before jasmine. this is green wild toucan bourbon, costa rica, a washed costa rica from sea island coffee.
it has tropical fruit character alongside jasmine and general floral notes. the washed process keeps the cup clean and the aromatics well-defined rather than muddled.
it is a bourbon varietal coffee grown in costa rica and processed using the washed method, meaning the cherry skin and pulp are removed before the beans are dried. this produces a cleaner, more transparent cup than natural or honey processing.
because this is a green coffee, you will need to roast it yourself before brewing. once roasted, a lighter profile preserves the floral and tropical fruit notes, and filter methods such as pour-over tend to suit washed bourbons well.
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.
