Stop by for a pour over this week and you'll be rewarded with your choice of some truly rare coffees from Rotterdam's . Both the Aramosa and Java coffees described below are available from today and the Gesha will be available in Espresso in very limited quantities from next week.
Aramosa is one of the unique varieties grown at Daterra Farms in Brazil. It’s a rare coffee that is a hybrid of Coffea Arabica (Typica) and Coffea Racemosa, a heirloom species. Aramosa is unique in that it has a lower caffeine content than typical Arabica varieties. In the cup we find it has a complex flavour profile with candy-like sweetness, notes of cocoa, and a finish of oolong tea.
The Java lot was produced by Elias and Shady Bayter at their farm, El Vergel. Java is a rare variety in Colombia, and it is part of a micro-lot on the estate that has been one of the most exotic. The coffee is processed using an innovative method of extended cooled-down-anaerobic fermentation that involves using water to regulate the temperature during fermentation. The resulting flavour is clean, juicy, and complex, with a silky mouth feel.
