Capim Seco

Day 11

Preparation

Time: 11:15

Washed the filter, warmed the mug and prepared hot water. Water temperature was 96.9ºC. 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

The coffee grounds had a spicy but earthy smell that I struggled to place. When wet they reminded me of freshly turned earth in the spring.

In the mouth, this one was equally hard to place. Notes of grape and perhaps a slight hint of milky oat.
