Bolivia Las Alasitas Geisha

John’s V60

Sample Coffee Team

Still a bit fresh and brewed slightly longer than ideal. Lots of perfumed florals, creamy body, sweet, elderflower, blueberries. Very complex and will only get better as it ages!

Very sweet and juicy with great clarity on the finish. Turkish delight and blackberry with plum. Very little "process" flavour in the cup

Colombia Guiverney Narvaez (2015 Harvest)

John’s Aeropress

Sample Coffee Team

Tasting sweet, like a crisp apple. Red apple skin bitterness, a bit of green grape freshness and acidity. At 90 seconds it's a little soft: with a longer brew time or slightly finer grind it'll extract a bit more body and acidity.

Ethiopia Duromina 2015

John’s V60

Sample Coffee Team

Playing around with a new grinder. Not perfectly dialled in but a medium sweet body, notes of black tea and a clean finish
