Sometimes serendipitous events make you question your life choices. I picked up this bag from a coffee shop I wandered into during a trip abroad, which happened to be hosting a cupping event. Following the roaster’s recommendation (who was leading the event), I decided to reduce my brewing temperature for all coffees from 96°C to 95°C. Additionally, when brewing a single cup with an AeroPress, I now add about 10% more water to the final cup. This gives me one or two extra sips, while consistently improving the cup quality. ...

Although the bag suggests the roastery is very serious about their craft, I couldn’t say it was an enjoyable experience. The experimental processing method (fermenting with the lulo fruit) might have introduced non-coffee-specific flavors, which I consider a downside.

This one has a much more subtle and notably less distinct taste compared to other Drop Coffee offerings. Brew at your own risk.
