Ethiopia Gesha Village Microlots #047 - Honey Process Coffee Bean

The Signature Manual Drip Recipe

For the ultimate vibrant yet balanced finish, this light-medium roast bean is best experienced through a pour-over or manual filter setup using these starting parameters:

• Dose (In): 15 grams of freshly ground coffee (Medium-coarse grind)
• Yield (Out): 225 grams of water (1:15 brewing ratio)
• Water Temp: 91°C – 93°C
• Target Profile: A lively, clean, and beautifully aromatic cup boasting distinct notes of coffee blossom and stone fruit, balanced perfectly with a refreshing citrus clarity.

Versatile Brewing Options

If you aren't using a manual pour-over dripper, this versatile premium microlot also performs exceptionally well across other daily brewing methods:

• Siphon: Excellent for amplifying the delicate ginger lily notes and volatile floral aromas while ensuring a pristine body.
• French Press: Great for full immersion, letting the deep plum and prune sweetness develop with a smooth, well-rounded mouthfeel.
• Drip Coffee Machine: Ideal for a clean, comforting, and remarkably high-quality morning mug that highlights the natural honey-processed sweetness.
• Moka Pot: Can be utilized for a dense, concentrated stove-top brew that extracts a sharp, jammy punch of stone fruit flavors.

Pro-Tips for Best Flavor

• Let it Rest: Allow your whole beans to rest in the sealed bag for 7 to 14 days from the roast date before brewing. This degassing phase ensures optimal flavor extraction and structural clarity.
• Storage: Keep the beans in their original packaging using the resealable zipper. Store it in a cool, dark pantry—never the refrigerator—to shield it from moisture and flavor-destroying condensation.

To keep your coffee beans tasting at their peak flavor, shield them from air, moisture, heat, and light.

1. Use the Original Bag
The packaging is already designed for optimal preservation. It features a resealable zipper and a recyclable degassing valve that lets carbon dioxide escape without letting oxygen in. Squeeze out excess air and zip it tightly after each use.

2. Store in a Cool, Dark Place
Place the bag in a kitchen pantry or cupboard. Keep it away from heat sources like ovens, microwaves, or sunny windows. Additionally, avoid storing it near strong spices, as coffee beans easily absorb surrounding odors.

3. Avoid the Refrigerator
Never store your daily coffee in the fridge. The temperature fluctuations from opening and closing the door create internal condensation, which ruins the essential oils and stales the beans rapidly.

Tip: If you bought whole beans, let them "rest" in the sealed bag for 7 to 14 days from the roast date before brewing. This allows the beans to de-gas, ensuring a smoother extraction for your espresso.
