Recommended Brew Parameters

Crafted specifically by Aleta Wondo Farm Collective's head roaster to unlock optimum extraction from these high-density beans.

  • Brew Ratio: 1:16 (16g coffee / 256g water)
  • Water Temperature: 92°C – 94°C
  • Grind Size: Medium (Pour-Over / Chemex)
  • Bloom Technique: 45s with 45g water
  • Target Drawdown: 2:45 – 3:15
  • Resting Window: 10–14 days post-roast (Peak extraction after CO2 degassing)
Scientific Degassing Note

Why 2–4 Weeks of Degassing Matters

Ultra-light roasts preserve delicate cellular density. Brewing within the first 10 days leads to CO2 channeling and sharp carbonic acidity. For peak floral sweetness and silky mouthfeel, rest these beans for 14 to 28 days post-roast.
