Brandywine Colombia La Chiquita Tabi

Roasted on 07/20/20 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. 6.375. I really do not like this one. It has a hard to define aroma, not quite corriander, sage, cumin, carraway, but something very herby and intoxicating. There were some chocolate notes and orange, but I could not get past the aroma.
