No. 9 Optimism
A fully washed Tanzania from Mbeya, grown between 1,200 and 1,900 m by small cooperative farmers and dried on raised beds. Bourbon and Kent. Roasted medium-light. Pear, jasmine, strawberry and florals.
In the cup
Pear, jasmine, strawberry and florals. Bright and tea-like, roasted medium-light to keep it that way. Drink it while it is hot: it flattens faster than the others.
Who it is for
The morning you want to start well.
How to brew it
Pour-over or Aeropress. Bright and tea-like. Drink it while it is hot, it flattens faster than the others.
This bag is ground to a medium drip grind, which suits drip machines and most pour-overs. For espresso, moka pot or French press, choose Whole bean above and grind it yourself: one grind cannot serve every method.
Filter coffee is at its best roughly 5 to 21 days after roasting, espresso about 10 to 30 days. Keep the bag closed, at room temperature, away from light.
