common questions
What does Sumatra – Blue Batak taste like?
blue batak leads with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, rounded out by baking spice. the medium-dark roast gives it body while the washed process keeps the citrus notes clean and distinct.
How is Sumatra – Blue Batak grown and processed?
it is grown in sumatra, indonesia, using caturra, bourbon, and typica varieties, and processed using the washed method, which removes the fruit before drying to produce a cleaner, brighter cup than wet-hulled sumatran coffees.
How should I brew Sumatra – Blue Batak?
the medium-dark roast and washed processing work well with pour over to highlight the citrus notes, or french press if you want to emphasise body and spice. a medium-coarse grind and water around 93 to 96 degrees celsius is a reliable starting point.
about the coffee roaster
you're on anthony street in west end, which is the kind of block that rewards slowing down. the coffee roaster sits at number seven, and if you've spent any time in this part of brisbane you'll know west end doesn't really do pretence. that suits this place. roasting in-house means what ends up in your cup hasn't traveled far from source to finish, and the regulars here have clearly noticed, coming back with the consistency of people who've stopped looking elsewhere. there's something grounding about a roaster operating at this scale in a neighbourhood that still has its edges intact. mid-morning on anthony street, flat white in hand, is a reasonable argument for the whole operation.
