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