un070 is a geisha natural from el salto, lot 12, grown in boquete, panama, and roasted by special guests. natural processing means the coffee cherries are dried whole, which concentrates fruit sugars and produces the pronounced stone fruit character alongside milk and dark chocolate. the result is a cup that moves between ripe, fruit-forward sweetness and a grounding cocoa depth. geisha from boquete is a delicate variety, so brew with care. pour-over or filter methods suit it well, keeping water temperature around 90-93°c and a moderate grind to avoid masking the fruit. this is not a heavy espresso roast, so lean lighter on extraction.

about special guests

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.
