Preparation

Time: 11:30

Washed the filter, warmed the mug and prepared hot water. Water temperature was 95.2ºC. 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 reminded me of a sweet, spiced plum.

In the mouth this reminded me of a silky custard with an aftertaste of 红枣茶 (red sugar and date tea).
