Burundi Mikuba 8

Coffee overview Mikuba 8 is a late-season pickup from Long Miles Coffee Project, who we last worked with in 2018 (!). Two very dynamic lots came in from LMCP, and Mikuba is the jucier and jammier of the two. Expect an expressive, fruit-forward cup with nice sweetness and clarity. Coffee flavor profile Red grape, raspberry, hibiscus Acidity: tartaric, red/blue fruits Sweetness: jammy Body: clean, tea-like Brewing evaluation Rest: 40+ days recommended Filter eval day 1: Gabi Standard Recipe of 1:18 shows a very light roast, with signs of extended rest needed. The initially jammy presentation of fruits is more juicy here on day 1. Nice hibiscus in the finish. We use 60 hardness, 20 buffer water heated to 198F in all of our recipes.
