Coriander coffee in London
1 speciality roast from 1 London roaster feature coriander notes.
Coriander in the cup presents as a warm, slightly citrusy spice note, sitting somewhere between the bright zest of coriander seed and the subtler, herbal quality of the fresh leaf. It often carries a mild earthiness alongside a faint floral lift, making it feel aromatic rather than sharp. This note typically arises from specific aromatic compounds in the bean, and tends to emerge in coffees processed using natural or anaerobic methods, where extended contact with the fruit amplifies complex, spice-like characteristics.
Coriander in coffee arrives as a warm, aromatic brightness — herbal and faintly citrusy, with a dry, spiced quality that lingers gently on the finish. The single London roast carrying this note comes from Colombia, processed using anaerobic fermentation, a method that encourages complex, unconventional flavours to develop by restricting oxygen during fermentation. Colonna are the roaster bringing this quietly distinctive note to cup.

How coriander notes develop
Coffees from Ethiopia, particularly those from the Sidama and Guji regions, often carry coriander-adjacent spice notes as part of a broader aromatic complexity. Colombian and Yemeni naturals can also exhibit this quality, typically when grown at high altitude where slower cherry maturation concentrates nuanced compounds in the seed. Anaerobic fermentation processing is increasingly associated with bringing forward defined spice notes like coriander, as the controlled environment encourages the development of aromatic esters and aldehydes during fermentation.
What to look for
On a bag or menu, look for tasting notes that combine spice descriptors with floral or citrus companions, such as cardamom, orange peel, or jasmine, as coriander rarely appears alone in a coffee's flavour profile. Natural and anaerobic process coffees are the most reliable category to explore for this note. Filter brewing methods, particularly pour-over and Aeropress, tend to preserve the delicate aromatic qualities that make coriander detectable, as they avoid the added body of espresso that can obscure subtler spice characteristics.
