Day 5
Costa Rica - Honey Preparation
Profile - Fruity, Apricot and Chocolate Notes
Roast - Medium
The brew
V60
1x packet (9g)
Recommended brew - 220ml water
20ml bloom, 2 minute 30 total brew time.
This was a really enjoyable coffee, super sweet, super fruity. Absolutely delicious!
Day 6
Kenya Blue Moutain
Profile - Full-bodied, Rich, Winey
Roast - Medium
Apparently I didn't take a photo of the coffee I made (I mean it was bound to happen eventually right?)
The brew
V60
1x packet (9g)
Recommended brew - 220ml water
20ml bloom, 2 minute 30 total brew time.
This was also a super enjoyable coffee, super full-bodied, but no overwhelming acidity.
Day 7
Monsooned Malabar
Profile - Smooth, Spicy, Sharp Acidity
Roast - Dark
Origin - Colombia
The brew
V60
1x packet (9g)
Recommended brew - 220ml water
20ml bloom, 2 minute 30 total brew time.
I was super excited for this one, every single Monsoon Malabar coffee I've had, has been great.
This one wasn't as expected (not to say I didn't enjoy it, it was still a great cup of coffee) it wasn't as smoky or spicy as I was hoping. It was a bit too mellow for a Monsoon coffee. However it was still very much enjoyable.
Day 8
Volcanic Mocha
Profile - Almost Sweet, Pungent Full Bodied
Roast - Light, Medium, Dark
Origin - Ethiopia, Java
The Brew
Mokka Pot
1 x 9g sachet
My at home latte art needs some work.
This came out as a super balanced and smooth espresso. It mixed well with milk, and was totally enjoyable as a latte.
Stay tuned for the next instalment of the Yawn Advent Calendar.
