Kayanza, Burundi · Masha washing station · Gatara commune · 1,672 masl

Whole cherries sealed in tanks with no oxygen, then dried in the sun with the fruit still on. That is where the fizz and the stone fruit come from. It is supposed to taste like that.

One Batch Cold Brew

rich · smooth · bold

Origin TBD, but it'll be something worth the wait. Steeped 18 to 24 hours, half a gallon of water to 220 grams of grounds, a ratio strong enough that you're meant to dilute it rather than wonder where the flavor went. What comes out the other end is thick and dark, closer to a concentrate than a coffee, even though nobody around here calls it that.

Cut it with cream and a splash of water if you want it easy. A touch of sweetener if that's your thing, no judgment. Or pour it straight over ice, no water, no cream, and let it hit the way it's supposed to. That's how I drink the first glass of every batch, standing at the counter, deciding if this one's a keeper.

Brewed once, one batch, by the half gallon. When it's gone, it's gone until the next one.
