​
​Brew Notes: This coffee is notably soluble according to TDS measurements but requires a finer grind to achieve optimal contact time. Initially, a shorter contact time resulted in earthy flavours, so we extended it to enhance the sweetness. Overall, this coffee is well-rounded, featuring hints of stone fruit acidity, tropical sweetness, and a buttery mouthfeel.
