Merge Coffee Company Ethiopia Yirgacheffee Ado Washed

Roasted on 08/17/22 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. 47. Red apple, stone fruit and bergamot aroma. I loved it, it was very sweet and very smooth, probably one of the best Ethiopians I had in the last year or so, maybe I have been selfselecting floral Ethiopians, but I was pleasantly surprised.
