this is a guatemalan coffee from huehuetenango, processed using the rto (raised-table or raised-bed natural) method. huehuetenango is one of guatemala's highest and most climatically distinct growing regions, producing coffees with pronounced acidity and complexity. in the cup you get bright citrus, lemon, and grapefruit alongside citrus zest, then raisin and both milk and dark chocolate on the finish, giving it a range that moves from sharp and fruit-forward to rich and rounded. the rto process tends to develop body and fruit character, so brew methods that highlight sweetness and clarity, such as pour-over or aeropress, will serve it well.

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.
