Coffea Circulor Kenya Ordo Isolated Ruiru 11 AA Washed Dry Fermentation WDX

Roasted on 08/24/22 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. 46. Hibiscus, honey, lime, mint, peach, silky. "This fermentation formula brings some means of Geisha-characteristics to the Isolated Ruiru 11 varietal - a varietal considered 'inferior' to the SL variations." [Pull & Pour Coffee Club]. This is the last of the sampler I bought and it left me speechless. I never thought I had a complete understanding of coffee terms, but with Coffea Circulor, Luminous Coffee and every new anaerobic style I have never felt more like I know very nothing. I love how more and more companies are almost info dumping, but I wish they would define the terms they are using more than they do already. 

Coffea Circulor Kenya Outo Isolated SL34 AA Washed WX

Roasted on 08/24/22 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. 46. Almond, brown sugar, black tea, blackberry, juicy. "This fermentation formula is considered the traditional Kenyan methodology and is built for mass production. This coffee will also highlight the roasting ideology of Coffea Circulor so that it can be ‘compared’ to previous other Kenya encounters one might have had. " [Pull & Pour Coffee Club] Despite having strong black tea notes, I didn't find this astringent like I normally do. This feels like the most orthodox of the coffees. 

Coffea Circulor Kenya Ortho Isolated Batian Natural Hypoxia NHX

Roasted on 08/24/22 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. 44. Dried dates, coffee cherry liquor, cider, honey, juicy (Recently used by Simen Andersen placing 1st in the Norwegian Brewers Cup). Another banger, I normally am happy to try a coffee maybe three times before I start to get bored, but I really wish I had more. 

Coffea Circulor Kenya Oxyco Isolated Batian Coffee Cherry/ORAC-Centered CCX

Roasted on 08/24/22 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. 45. Cotton candy, black currant, mango, purple plum and syrupy. (Recently used by Ellen Chen to place 2nd in the Indonesian Brewers Cup). This is my first Coffea Circulor coffee and I am in love. I really am disappointed I only have 40g of this. I bought this though the Pull & Pour Coffee Club and I think I might have to add them to my coffee subscription list. So far I think they are in my top three coffee roasters list along with My Friends Coffee & Luminous Coffee.
