costa rica coffee
by the wood roaster · sydney, australia
you'll taste red apple before stone fruit. this is costa rica finca carrizal filter roast, a honey costa rica from the wood roaster.
it tastes of red apple and stone fruit, with honey and honeycomb sweetness running through the cup. the honey process adds body and sweetness while keeping a fruit-forward brightness.
it's a caturra varietal grown in costa rica and processed using the honey method, meaning some of the fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying. this sits between a washed and natural process in terms of sweetness and body.
it's roasted for filter, so pour over or batch brew methods will suit it well. aim for a medium-fine grind and water around 93-96°c to highlight the fruit acidity and honeyed sweetness.
the wood roaster sits on shepherd street in marrickville like it's always belonged there. which maybe it has. coffee this good doesn't happen by accident, someone's paying attention to every detail, from the way beans crack during first crack to how hot the milk gets steamed. those 407 five-star reviews aren't flukes. regulars know what they're getting here: coffee that tastes like coffee, not like a marketing committee's idea of coffee. the kind of place where your barista remembers how you take your flat white without needing to ask twice. sydney has plenty of places selling expensive coffee in trendy cups. this isn't that. this is the real thing, beans roasted with actual care, pulled by people who understand the difference between good and good enough. marrickville locals figured this out ages ago. the rest of us are just catching up.
