Luminous Coffee Roasters Ecuador Fausto Romo Washed Gesha

Roasted 12/23/22 I brewed this in a Kalita wave using notneutral filters with a Niche Zero grinder. My recipe is 28g coffee, 400g hot water not necessarily aiming for any particular time, but somewhere between four and five and half minutes. I try to do a 50g bloom in the first 45 seconds then three or four more pours 38. Floral, caramel, lime and cherry. I wasn't the biggest fan, the floral notes were a little lost in the lime and caramel. But I think it was good nonetheless. 

Luminous Coffee Roasters Costa Rica Finca San Cristobal El Pino Lot Natural

Roasted 12/23/22 I brewed this in a Kalita wave using notneutral filters with a Niche Zero grinder. My recipe is 28g coffee, 400g hot water not necessarily aiming for any particular time, but somewhere between four and five and half minutes. I try to do a 50g bloom in the first 45 seconds then three or four more pours 41. Wine like Acidity, strawberry, cranberry & chocolate. Delicious, definitely would be better as an espresso, but good as drip with a little milk, not quite a daily drinker. 

Pair Cupworks Wash-Processed Coffee Beans from DR Congo

Roasted 12/30/23 I brewed this in a Kalita wave using notneutral filters with a Niche Zero grinder. My recipe is 28g coffee, 400g hot water not necessarily aiming for any particular time, but somewhere between four and five and half minutes. I try to do a 50g bloom in the first 45 seconds then three or four more pours. 43. Bakers Chocolate & dried raspberry. A little orthodox, but pleasantly non offensive. I received a a Pair Cupworks subscription so I should be adding this to my monthly roaster of Luminous Coffee, Proud Mary Coffee Roasters and I am sure I have a third that I can't think of.

Roasted 12/21/22 I brewed this in a Kalita wave using notneutral filters with a Niche Zero grinder. My recipe is 28g coffee, 400g hot water not necessarily aiming for any particular time, but somewhere between four and five and half minutes. I try to do a 50g bloom in the first 45 seconds then three or four more pours. 43. Blueberry, tropical fruit and sweet. Simply amazing, I don't think this would do well as an espresso it's too delicate and would definitely pull too tart.

Would definitely be good as an espresso, though I am sure the floral bites would be lost.

Roasted 12/21/22 I brewed this in a Kalita wave using notneutral filters with a Niche Zero grinder. My recipe is 28g coffee, 400g hot water not necessarily aiming for any particular time, but somewhere between four and five and half minutes. I try to do a 50g bloom in the first 45 seconds then three or four more pours. 37. Sweet floral, raspberry, dried cherry. I've been falling behind a lot, my job while not difficult is time consuming. I remember loving this coffee and was a little disappointed that it wasn't as floral as the tasting notes may imply. It feels like it would be a good sipping espresso.
