Tasting notes: Pink Lady Apple, Bergamot, Cane Sugar 

Roaster Notes: 

BC3.5 Drum - This coffee is very high density, but had a slightly larger screen size, so I went with medium high charge. I aimed to spend some extra time in dry to develop complexity. To further this goal, I also moved the airflow changes back about 20s each. This increased solubility and weightloss, preventing the acidity from being too sharp/blowing out the florals. Despite the slow start, this still raced through maillard and ended at a slightly higher end temp than expected. The end result is a beautifully complex and layered cup that still has a really loud up front acidity. This cup goes through an evolution as it cools, from pink lady apple to jasmine, to bergamot, to honeysuckle with a cane sugar sweetness present and intense throughout.
