    I dont know if its just that I havent had cold brew in awhile, but that was so good. Just the right balance.

    A really nice fruity cold brew, a tasty streak of blackberry with a nutty/caramel/brown sugarcharacter front of palate (pretty subtle). Acidity is just right.

    Cupping Method:From the Madrid store in Cuatro Caminos.

    Juicy, interesting roast. Starts off for me with blackcurrant and black tea with a bit of grapefruit. Some natural sugar (maple syrup mentioned by the roaster is apt). Then you really get the citrus, with lime and perhaps a touch of rosemary like herbaceousness. The lime for some will be a bit much.

    Its an interesting journey lining up with some of the better Guatemalans coming out these days.

    Cupping Method:Pourover, Hario v60

    As good a matcha latte as I can ever remember having. Grade of matcha is really good and oat milk selection works super well.

    Cupping Method:At Syra Orense, Madrid

    Syra has really well trained baristas. A chai latte (or any drink with added calories) is a rare treat for me, but Syra has earned my trust. The chai latte was well-executed and not too sweet, as they often are in the US. I wish they'd use a bit more ice but I think one or two large cubes is the standard in Spain.

    Cupping Method:Oat milk. Actually got to the office and dropped an espresso capsule to make it dirty and it still held up.

    This is a solid Ethiopian light pourover, but I'm not totally blown away. All the really good characteristics of Ethiopian are there, black tea, raspberry, peach. This roast just has a strong herbaceousness that's throughout the palate when hot. They have herbes-de-grace or rue on the bag. That could be it. That's much more muted as it cools, and then it's so light and fruity it's almost chuggable.

    Cupping Method:Bought at Syra store on Calle Orense in Madrid and made 4x with a Hario v60

Editor's Overview

Syra is the tip of the spear in 3rd wave style coffee in Spain. For our US-based editorial team, Syra reminds us a bit of Blue Bottle in the early days. The baristas were well-trained, and the coffee was different than the standard and quite good. Syra outposts are stylish and clean, and offer a variety of specialty wave gear including Aeropress and Hario drippers/filters.
