Cool Roast Curves Congo Kabare Katana Jamaica Blue Mountain Natural

Jamaica Blue Mountain Varietal Natural Process  "Soaring above the digital mountains, behold the flavorful Sea of Clarity! Guided by the patient and knowledgeable spirits of South Kivu Farmers, the tastes unfurl in a dance both wild and familiar. Cascading flavors of mysterious plum soda frolic with sticky peach ring candy, creating an uncontrollable sugary wave pool. In this moment, we find ourselves anew, yet strangely at home. We etch this memory into our collective hard drives, eagerly anticipating the impending reboot." Peach candy and winey.  Never really cared for Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee, always found it to be overhyped, overpriced and over roasted much like Kona coffee was considered a pinacle of coffee regions for older coffee drinkers. I rather enjoyed this, perhaps because of its modest price.

Roasted 04/05/23 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. 37. Pomegranate, blackberry and spiced cake.
