expect almond. this is release 061 - la josefina, typica mejorado natural, a natural ecuador from special guests.
the roaster notes almond as the primary tasting characteristic, pointing to a dry, nutty sweetness. the natural process adds body and some fruit-derived sweetness to the cup.
it is a typica mejorado varietal grown at la josefina in ecuador and processed using the natural method, meaning the whole coffee cherry is dried before the seed is extracted.
filter brewing is a good fit for this coffee, as gentler extraction methods allow the almond note to come through clearly. avoid over-extraction, which can push the nutty quality toward bitterness.
you'll notice the room before the coffee: two metal counters, clean and deliberate, one pulling espresso and one devoted entirely to pour-over. paul ross, who won the uk barista championship in 2019 and spent years at origin, kiss the hippo and watchhouse, opened this aybrook street spot in 2022 with a filter menu that runs about twelve single origins at any time. rare panama geshas, experimental lots, coffees pulled from freezer archive for a second run. it's a serious place that doesn't feel serious. ross knows exactly what he's doing here.
