Matthew’s brew notes

Colombia Laureano Chavarro Finca El Diamante

Matthew’s Chemex

Finally got those plum and winegum flavours; took a few days though plus a nice accident of 2 grams extra coffee than my usual recipe!

Finally found the stone fruits! Enjoying it with a side of nectarines to enhance fruit flavours, creamy medium body with a subtle hint of tartness.

Ecuador Oscar Proaño

Matthew’s Cold Brew

Superb orange sweetness, akin to freshly squeezed orange juice. Add some actual chocolate beforehand to round out the fuller bodied flavours (dark is good but milk chocolate works just as well!).

Colombia Guiverney Narvaez (2015 Harvest)

Matthew’s Aeropress

This bean has opened my eyes to the variety in Columbian coffee. Reminiscent of some East African beans (Rwanda or Burundi) with its Stone Fruit flavours. I'm getting more nectarine flavours with a hint of plum.
