little gemstone is a honey-processed caturra from costa rica, roasted by the right roast. honey processing leaves some of the fruit mucilage on the bean during drying, which tends to push sweetness and body forward. in the cup, expect stone fruit and honeycomb alongside jasmine and floral notes, with almond in the finish. it suits filter methods like pour-over or drip, where clarity and sweetness come through cleanly. keep water around 92-94°c and a medium-fine grind to let the floral and fruit notes develop without tipping into bitterness.

about the right roast

you're on lower clapton road, which isn't the part of hackney that gets written up in travel supplements, and that's probably fine by everyone involved. the right roast sits in a stretch of east london that's still figuring itself out, and there's something honest about a specialty roaster planting itself here rather than in shoreditch where the foot traffic does half the work for you. they roast their own beans, which means what ends up in your cup started as a decision made on this premises, not a bag ordered from a wholesaler. the standing among reviewers is genuinely strong, consistently so. if you're in clapton on a weekday morning, this is where you want to be before the day gets complicated.
