MORE ABOUT ROOFTOP COFFEE ROASTERS

What Keegan Street, Co-Founder, shared:

“We buy 4 processing methods of Centroamericano from Aquiares Estate every year, and the washed is always a crisp, bright, citrusy delight. The cup opens up with a mouthwatering apricot and mandarin orange acidity, supported by a layered body that reminds me of marmalade. The finish leaves an aroma of citrus zest and fresh cherries, with a little hint of herbals (think rooibos tea). This is the first year that their washed process included an anaerobic fermentation, and it shows! They’ve avoided the overly funky aromas, and captured more complexity, texture, and depth by adding this step in the fermentation process!”

Like the Mexican coffee expectation there is plenty of caramels and milk chocolates, but also some great crisp acidity similar to mandarins or tangerines most likely due to the higher elevation and graduation. Our Dom profile is typically a washed Guatemalan; this Mexico lot, actually our first ever, has been hitting very nice on both espresso and filter.”

Grown at over 2000 meters above sea level, this tasty treat of a Catuai was processed meticulously by Don Emmanuel and his team. After a rigorous and selective hand harvest, the cherries are passed through a water floatation system. From there, the cherries are placed on raised drying beds under the cover of a plastic roof to dry for approximately 40 days prior to milling. This process results in a beautiful light-bodied coffee, with refreshing tartaric and malic acidity, a juicy body and lasting finish."

What Phil Robertson, Co-Founder, shared:

“Gerba Dogo comes from an epic spot, tucked deep in the remote backcountry of West Guji near Bule Hora. Getting there takes a serious two-day drive, a trek I have had the good fortune to make a few times over the years. The high altitude and isolation give this coffee its distinct character. The washing station is run by Morkata Gata and his wife, Eyerusalem Gebregziabiher. This site brings together cherries from three kebeles, including its namesake Dogo Sodu. In the cup, it is a Southern Ethiopian classic: black tea with a touch of rue, layered with stone fruit such as peach, nectarine, and apricot. The body is light yet creamy, quietly elegant, and best brewed as a pour-over with extraction pushed above 22%."

the cafe we are using V60 at the moment and at home I use an April brewer. We find it has a nice body and sweetness with a smooth, but present and balanced acidity. We find tasting notes resembling green apples, and hints of marzipan and chocolate. A hint of florals makes it more fun and complex. It feels like there is the perfect amount of fermentation on this honey processed coffee too which adds a nice touch of complexity. It’s the perfect coffee for a cold morning.”

"Papua New Guinea is a relative newcomer to the specialty coffee scene. However, it’s an origin that we’re quite excited about for the potential. We’re finding the profiles from PNG to have a very chocolatey big body and citrus complexity in their acidity. For this blend, we’re combining the PNG with a coffee from Rani Mayasari, an extremely talented producer out of West Java, Indonesia. Her coffee underwent an anaerobic natural fermentation that brings a dried red fruit sweetness to this blend, making this the perfect holiday drink!"
