panama coffee
by special guests · london, uk
you'll taste stone fruit before milk chocolate. this is un070 - el salto lot 12, geisha natural, a natural panama from special guests.
it leads with stone fruit from the natural process, layered with both milk and dark chocolate. the combination gives it a sweet, fruit-forward character with a grounding cocoa finish.
this is a geisha variety grown in boquete, panama, at el salto lot 12, and processed naturally, meaning the whole cherry is dried before milling, which amplifies fruit sweetness.
filter or pour-over brewing suits the geisha variety and natural process well, allowing the stone fruit and chocolate notes to come through clearly without over-extraction.
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.
