costa rica coffee
by the roasting shed · london, uk
you'll taste red apple before honey. this is ceres nubes - costa rica, a honey costa rica from the roasting shed.
it tastes of red apple, honey, and honeycomb. the honey processing gives it a soft, sweet character with a fruit-forward brightness from the apple note.
it is grown in costa rica and processed using the honey method, where some or all of the fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, adding sweetness and body to the finished cup.
filter methods such as v60 or chemex will highlight the red apple acidity and keep the honey sweetness clean and defined. if you prefer espresso, a slightly longer ratio can help balance the sweetness without muting the fruit.
hornsey road isn't exactly shoreditch, but that's precisely why the roasting shed works so well here. tucked between finsbury park's everyday bustle, this little roastery has built something chains can't replicate: actual relationships. the kind where your barista remembers how you take your flat white without asking. their beans arrive raw and leave transformed, roasted in small batches with the sort of attention that shows in every cup. you can smell the difference when you walk in. that fresh, complex scent of coffee at its peak, not the bitter char of over-roasted beans sitting too long. regulars queue on saturday mornings not because it's trendy, but because the espresso here tastes like it was made for them specifically. 219 google reviews averaging 4.8 stars don't lie. some places chase instagram followers. the roasting shed chases that next great cup.
