The three coffees arrived within a week to USA from Kiev. So very fast! As pointed out the selection will vary seasonally, I mentioned I wanted to try anaerobics and received Ethiopia AYLA BOMBE anaerobic filter roast, Columbia Geisha Anaerobic filter roast, and Columbia Sidra bourbon washed. Used cezve and ‘Turkish’ coffee method as a starting point for comparison, Kinu 47 standard burr at 1.0 (1 full rotation from ‘0’). Each was very interesting and enjoyable and easily distinguishable. Working with filter pour-over V60 and osmotic/hybrid flow technique the flavor profiles of the roaster tasting notes were perceived
and appreciated! I am a newbie regarding pour-over so it is easier for me to compare different coffees rather than identifying their profiles in their own. This is part of the enjoyment of course. I have placed the bulk of the coffees in a deep freeze in sealed containers (lock-n-lock) and so far the aliquots I’ve removed are consistent with the original perceived profiles when they first arrived and were first opened. My only regret is that I can only use them so fast;) needless to say I look forward to continuing my coffee journey with additional orders!
Thank you!) Glad that you enjoyed that coffee too. It is always tricky, especially with anaerobic processed. But cezve makes everything easier to appreciate.
