​Brew Notes:
What a surprise this coffee was. We got a sweet and syrupy espresso which pleasantly lingered on the palette. The extraction started quite slow but sped up considerably towards the end, so if you see this it may not be channelling - it’s just how this espresso rolls. This espresso is also great in a long black, with the extra water helping bring out those subtle fruits that are slightly overwhelmed by the bigger sweet notes but taste beautiful as is!

​Brew Notes:

This coffee brews like a dream! It didn’t choke once during the dial-ins even with heavy agitation however, the coffee did have a dry finish after the heavier agitation so don’t overdo it! Coffee is rich and syrupy, however, if the coffee has a lighter body or is slightly fresher than 7 days we recommend a shorter bloom to help get that extra texture. It's a great coffee for those who like those rich, funky notes in their brews.
