Preparation

Time: 10:45

Washed the filter, warmed the mug and prepared hot water. Water temperature was 93.6ºC. Measured 22g coffee and poured 50ml over the coffee to wet it. Waited 30s and pured over a further 250ml water, keeping the filter funnel about half full.

Observation

There was a dampness to the smell of the grounds. Sweet, fruity but distinctly the strength of aroma that comes off damp mossy wood.

In the mouth, this brings me back to a fruity iced tea. A light roast, this earthy but warming coffee saves its bitterness for the tail end of the flavour profile.
