Barista Dialing Protocol

Recommended Brew Parameters

Crafted specifically by St. Ali & Proud Mary Syndicate's head roaster to unlock optimum extraction from these high-density beans.

Brew Ratio: 1:2 (18g dose / 36g espresso out)
Water Temperature: 90°C – 92°C
Grind Size: Fine Espresso
Bloom Technique: Pre-infusion 5s
Target Drawdown: 26 – 30s
Resting Window: 7–10 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.
