Not as bright when it first came out, still with a lovely caramel/toffee finish.

Bolivia Carmelo Yujra

Jason’s V60

Initial sweetness with a toffee after taste. Once it had cooled down - holy moly! Flavour-licious. I'll need to brew another batch and report in.

Ethiopia Chelelectu

Jason’s V60

Wow - what a half day or brewing technique change makes (or was it my palate / time of day?) Getting citrus and jasmine when the coffee is hot. (Brewed at 88ºC, tasted at 7:30am, unlike my Kalita Wave which was in the afternoon the day prior) - when cooling down the flavour intensifies.

Ethiopia Chelelectu

Jason’s Kalita Wave

Not a lot of flavour hot off the brew (might try the next brew at a higher temp - I brew at 88ºC mostly) - if I didn't know any better I'd say I was drinking tea ;) As per usual, when the coffee gets closer to room temperature is usually when my palate picks up what it likes. This time it was a richer (but yet still?) tea-like flavour. (Maybe I should start drinking tea?)

Kenya Kiangoi Aa

Jason’s Kalita Wave

Not as good as it was tasting on the Hong Kong and Phuket trip (maybe travelling around the world makes it taste different) - but still good in the cup. The berry sweetness seems to have disappeared, but the acidity is still present enough to make it a crisp finish. Brew temp: 88ºC
