How to Maximize Floral Notes in the Coffee

Valerian Hrala June 13, 2016

Floral properties of certain coffee lots are highly desired.. How can you highlight these properties?

In roasting a higher rate of rise will help these floral aromatics to shine. Do not roast too dark, because this will suppress these properties.

In brewing you can experiment with slightly coarser grind and higher coffee:water brewing ratio.

Allowing a 72h+ rest time after roasting can help a lot.

To get the fragrance out let ground coarser stand for 3 days I love this simple guide.

His descriptors sound like Geisha. Lighter roasts for sure. Typically a shorter development time also but always cup to find the perfect roast.
