you'll taste grapefruit before stone fruit. this is colombia finca la betania, a honey colombia from substance café.
it has a bright grapefruit acidity with stone fruit and floral jasmine notes, finishing with honey and honeycomb sweetness. the honey process adds a fuller body and extra sweetness compared to a washed coffee from the same region.
it is grown at finca la betania in huila, colombia, and processed using the honey method, meaning some of the fruit mucilage remains on the bean during drying. this contributes to the sweetness and fruit character in the final cup.
filter methods such as pour over or aeropress work well, as they allow the floral and fruit notes to express clearly without being muted. keep brew temperature around 90-93°c to balance the grapefruit acidity without making it harsh.
you book a time, you show up, and joachim morceau decides what you're drinking. that's the deal at substance café. no takeaway, no menu to scroll, just coffee roasted on site and a host who competed at the french brewers cup twice, once pulling a runner-up finish with a washed biodynamic geisha. the lots he sources are small, sometimes unrepeatable. he's not chasing volume. he's slowing you down long enough to actually hear where the coffee came from.
