Chromatic Coffee La Virgen

Roasted on 2/20 I brewed this in a Kalita wave using notneutral filters with a Ditting KR1203 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. I settled on 6.5, but I seriously considered 6.375 and 6.675. I felt 6.675 had a better body, but was not as juicy as 6.5. the taste was predominantly  apricot or a similar stonefruit with a strange spice aftertaste. There was some acidity to it, but ultimately fleeting.
