about 2:20 brew time (low agitation/pours)
93°C water

ground beans and the brew smell sweet.

first sip is mellow sweetness with slight acidity and a spicy aftertate. the spicy taste increases with further sips. acidity with sweetness reads as fruity but cant pinpoint which ones. dont read any bitterness. nice cup.

A naturals robusta from Naivo this time. Didn't really have a good time with their bewild robusta last year (https://pixelfed.social/p/enyantiomer/790143518047647332)

Though the brew smells floral and mildly spicy, the taste is mostly mildly bitter with hints of cardamom and nutmeg. There's also a burnt sort of sweetness which isn't pleasant. Not my cup of tea yet again this year.

brew smells spicy and a bit floral.

taste is mildly bitter upfront. tastes a bit like cardamom, nutmeg. bitterness lingers unpleasantly but reduces with sips. theres a sickly burnt sweetness in background.

like last years bewild robusta, this is not my cup of tea

amazing how popular blue tokai has got over the past couple of years. even their over the top expensive "nano lots" are selling out within hours these days.

Final coffee of 2025: An arabica from El Bueno Roasters called Jam Session.

The brew tastes and smells floral with very little bitterness. Pleasant acidity which reminds me of an apple. Nice coffee.

(only preliminary notes since this is mixed with a tiny bit of the previous coffee. full assessment next time.)

smells floral and sweet.

tastes a tiny bit bitter upfront. there are floral notes in there but im deficient in recognizing them. there is sort of a tart acidity too.

New robusta from caffinary called "Garnet Vin Doux": https://caffinary.com/products/vin-doux?variant=44879530361032

their "Couverture Canephora" (https://caffinary.com/products/couverture-canephora?variant=43613026418888) was my fav robusta from 2025 so interested in this one too.

Another one from El Bueno Roasters called "Cacao me crazy!". This time it's a robusta which is a mosto processed naturals.

This is one of the best tasting robusta coffees I have had. Has a dark chocolate primary note with a bit of fruity acidity. Extremely good cup.
