hermosa is a honey-processed costa rican coffee roasted by volcano coffee works. honey processing, where some fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, gives it a natural sweetness that shows up clearly here, stone fruit and peach upfront, with honey and honeycomb in the middle, and milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and almond rounding it out. it suits filter brewing well, where the fruit and sweetness come through cleanly, though it will also work as an espresso if you want a sweeter, fruitier shot. grind fresh and use water around 93c to avoid flattening the softer fruit notes.

common questions

What does Hermosa - Costa Rica taste like?

expect stone fruit and peach leading, supported by honey and honeycomb sweetness, with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and almond in the finish. the honey process gives it a fuller, sweeter body than a washed coffee from the same origin.

How is Hermosa - Costa Rica grown and processed?

hermosa is from costa rica and uses honey processing, meaning the coffee cherry skin is removed but a layer of fruit mucilage is left on the bean as it dries, adding sweetness and body to the cup.

How should I brew Hermosa - Costa Rica?

filter methods like pour over or aeropress will highlight the fruit and honey notes most clearly. if you prefer espresso, the natural sweetness and chocolate notes make it a solid choice there too.

about volcano coffee works

london's specialty coffee scene has spent the last decade pulling in every direction at once, with roasters popping up across zones two and three faster than most people can keep track. volcano coffee works, on ferndale road in brixton, has stayed put through all of it. that kind of consistency in sw9 means something, because brixton doesn't reward places that aren't pulling their weight. if you're coming from the tube, the walk down ferndale road is short and the shop is exactly where you'd want it to be after a stretch underground. the roasting operation is the core of what they do here, not a side note. worth timing your visit for a weekday morning, when the neighborhood is still finding its pace.
