Barista Bitch Dialing In

Using a Niche Zero Grinder and an Anza espresso machine at 19, 18.4g in, 22 seconds and 30g out. Dark chocolate, caramel, black tea, red grape sweetness and very creamy. I loved it as a daily drinker, despite have some black tea notes I didn't find this astringent like most coffees that are tea-like or with predominant tea notes. 

Roasted 08/19/21 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. 47. Very interesting, apple blossoms, tart passion fruit, strawberry jam, very sweet and very thick. I loved it, generally I avoid Colombian coffees, but I am happy I got this one. I have fallen behind one posting my notes, I unfortunately knocked my tin off the counter onto my mildly dirty floor and did not get to experience a second taste.

Smoked Chocolate, not quite dark or bittersweet, earthy, a strange vegetal sweetness (something like a sweet grassy jelly) and lightly acidic. Overall really good for a daily drinker.

Lots of stone fruit notes, a bit of wet stone, brown sugar and a weird flavor that remind me of banana candy not quite real banana.

Using a Niche Zero Grinder and an Anza espresso machine at 21, 18.3g in, 17 seconds and 24g out. Still surprising. Lots of woodsy notes, aromatic green vegetables, berry sweetness and malty. It still can use a little work, but it is very good as is.
