It is not often we are given the opportunity to connect with the origin of what we do: coffee.
Our featured filter is a beautiful Honey Gesha from the region of Nan. Grown and produced by Discovery Farm, the Ching family has dedicated themselves to growing various coffees of the highest quality.
This particular coffee won second place in the Cup of Excellence compeitition, and we were fortunate enough to bring back some to share.
This coffee is available in extremely limited quantities at both our Waterloo store and “The Stand”, so try it while you can!

We are excited to be able to serve the Colombia Las Magaritas Gesha on our filter bar, exclusively at the Waterloo store. This beautiful and elegant coffee comes from Cafe Granja La Esperanza (CGLE).
All coffee cherries are carefully selected, ensuring that only those at full ripeness are picked. They are then floated in water to remove low-density cherries and debris such as leaves and twigs. Before fermentation begins, the sugar content is measured to confirm that the cherries are in ideal condition for the fermentation process. The cherries then undergo an 18-hour open-tank fermentation, which helps reveal the deeper layers of flavor hidden within.
After fermentation, the pulp is gently removed, and the coffee undergoes an additional 24 hours of aerobic fermentation to further enhance its complexity. Finally, the sticky mucilage is washed off, and the coffee moves into the drying stage. It is carefully dried in silos for 3–5 days, during which the temperature is strictly controlled at 38°C. Once it reaches the optimal state, the coffee is rested in a climate-controlled warehouse maintained at 18–19°C, preserving its exceptional character.

On this week’s Get To Know Your Barista, we have Cheryl, who is definitely a familiar face to many of you!
Q: What do you enjoying being in the specialty coffee industry?
A: What I love about the specialty coffee industry is the care behind it. Specialty coffee creates space for intention, from how the coffee is grown and roasted to how it’s brewed and shared. Everyone experiences coffee differently, and this industry brings people together to enjoy, discuss and learn from one another over a cup.
Q: What is your most memorable moment since you joined Kurasu?
A: Watching Kurasu grow from Odeon Towers to Waterloo and The Stand, alongside the team, has been pretty special.
Q: What is your usual coffee order?
A: Filter coffee for sure! And lately, I’ve been really enjoying having espresso over ice!
