un073 kotowa silvia marina is a geisha natural from panama, roasted by special guests. natural processing means the coffee cherries dried whole, which tends to concentrate fruit sugars and deepen body. the result here lands on milk chocolate and dark chocolate, making this a fuller, sweeter expression of geisha than the variety's typical floral, tea-like profile. because the flavors are rich and chocolatey rather than delicate, this coffee holds up well in filter brewing where you want clarity, though the body also suits a careful pour-over with a medium grind and water around 93°c to keep the chocolate notes present without bitterness.

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.
