Cup profile
Espresso. 94C+. 17g of coffee for base brew:
We have brewed this (just for you?!) over the last week. It is such an easy coffee to drink.
Lychee, citrus, berry sours, Dark chocolate.
Recipe:
17-18g into 34g+ for milk-based drinks 26-30 seconds
17g into 45g for espresso. 26-33 seconds.
The 9oz milk-based drinks are cuddly and warming. Covetable, cosy milk chocolate with a touch of savoury and cocoa.
6oz milk-based drinks: Darker chocolate, cocoa intense.
If you want more intensity, you can increase your brew temperature or your dose, or both! 1 gram of coffee can be the difference between a cup of coffee and a great cup of coffee, in the right hands. Experimentation is the answer. Brew and taste and brew again.
Farm Info
From South Minas in Brazil, this coffee comes to us via 4 women who farm coffee, exceptionally. Donas do cafe’ is gathered and imported SMC. I couldn’t put this better than the author of marketing at Donas do Cafe’.
Donas do Café project aims to be a vehicle of knowledge exchange, contributing to the work of the women who are partners of Cooxupé and SMC. It’s an initiative that brings the names of female producers to the forefront of their businesses and inserts them in the speciality coffee market. When a woman thrives, so does everything around her.
