you'll taste blackcurrant before stone fruit. this is sd-003 - lost origin lerida, geisha lot 098_150 depulped, a panama from special guests.
this coffee carries blackcurrant and stone fruit alongside milk chocolate and dark chocolate, balancing fruit brightness with a softer, cocoa-tinged base. the geisha variety and depulped processing help keep those flavors distinct and clean in the cup.
it is a geisha variety grown at finca lerida in panama and processed using a depulped method, where the outer fruit skin is removed before the coffee is dried. this approach generally preserves clarity and keeps the cup cleaner than a full natural process.
a filter or pour-over brew method suits this coffee well, as it allows the blackcurrant, stone fruit, and chocolate notes to express themselves without being muted. use water around 93-96°c and a medium-fine grind to keep extraction balanced.
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.
