Square Mile Coffee Roasters

Context

Square Mile Coffee Roasters is a London-based roaster with a long-standing reputation for precision and transparency. Red Brick is their approachable, signature-style offering sourced from Costa Rica's Chirripó region, a high-altitude growing area known for producing clean, structured coffees with well-defined sweetness.

Costa Rican coffees broadly are associated with balance and clarity — characteristics that make fruit and sweetness easy to identify on the flavor wheel without complexity overwhelming the cup. While specific processing details for this lot aren't noted here, Costa Rica has historically favored washed and honey methods, both of which tend to preserve a coffee's inherent brightness. Red Brick is positioned as an everyday drink with reliable, crowd-pleasing character rather than a single-origin showcase — a deliberate choice that reflects Square Mile's interest in making quality coffee accessible.
