costa rica coffee
by the barn ku'damm · berlin, germany
you'll taste honey before honeycomb. this is volcan azul gesha honey, a honey costa rica from the barn ku'damm.
this coffee tastes of honey and honeycomb, with the sweetness driven by both the gesha varietal and the honey processing method used at the farm in costa rica.
it is grown in costa rica using the gesha varietal and processed using the honey method, which means fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, adding body and sweetness to the final cup.
pour-over or aeropress work well here, use water around 90-93°c and a medium-fine grind to highlight the honey and honeycomb character without masking it with excess bitterness.
the barn on ku'damm sits in one of berlin's most commercially saturated stretches, which makes what they're doing here genuinely interesting. kurfürstendamm 21 is surrounded by the kind of retail density that usually crowds out anything requiring patience or attention, but this place operates on its own terms. the barn has been roasting its own beans since before berlin specialty coffee became a thing people wrote about, and that history shows in how the coffee lands. not flashy. just precise. if you're passing through the western city center and assume the good stuff only lives in mitte or prenzlauer berg, this is the stop that corrects that. a flat white here on a weekday morning, before the boulevard fills up, is a solid reason to get off the u-bahn one stop early.
