Today’s Coffee: 22nd April 2024

Comments:

  • New week, new beans!
  • The aroma is bursting with fruit so in order to get the most out of them I think we go fast slow fast on the pours
  • And make the second pour be big to get all that juiciness

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Initially some buttered toast but then a lil peek of apple just promising some fruity goodness.

First Taste: OK lot of juice in here. Apples, evolved into a pomegranate finish for that kind of crunchy, meaty fruit.

Second Taste: As it cools, the fruits explode even further. Um Bungo, but with more of an emphasis on the citrus. Finish is smooth and long.

A biting citric acid along with a savoury tone that I can’t yet place (more research needed) but which makes the whole thing just sing and dance in the mouth, which is exactly what you want first thing on a Monday morning.

In terms of approach, I think it worked out as planned. I’d be surprised if I could get more fruit out of this but I want to try. At the risk of sacrificing some body, maybe I’ll push it to a 70:30 flavour:body ratio.

Add some sugar.

Put it in a Bluey sippy cup.
