Coffee

Tastes Like:
This is a versatile coffee that tastes good at different roast levels. We chose a lighter medium roast profile to showcase the clean, crisp fruit flavors that are well complemented by a caramel sweetness. Tastes like peanut brittle and malt chocolate with a fruity tart aftertaste.

Brew Guide:
Best as a Filter brew. The French Press will bring out the body and maintain the smoothness, while a Drip or Pourover balances the fruit acidity and sweetness with a good body. 
French Press: 15g coffee, coarse grind + 226g water @ 200F -> bloom for 45s and then brew for 3.5 mins. 
Pourover: 14g coffee, medium grind + 226g water @ 200F -> bloom for 45s and then brew for 3 mins. Our favorite pourover is Kalita wave for this coffee.

Coffee Origins:

Flavor notes include apricot, dark chocolate, and hints of jasmine. Clean silky texture, balanced acidity with a sweet aftertaste. 

Brew Guide:

Our favorite brew method is the Chemex to get crisp acidity and subtle fruit/floral notes. As an espresso, this coffee is smooth, chocolatey, nutty, and just delicious in the cup!
Chemex: 20g coffee, medium-coarse grind + 300g water @ 200F -> bloom for 45s and then brew for 3.5 mins.
