☕ Flavor Analysis | Is this the right fit for you?

It has high memorability without leaving you with just a heavy, fermented sensation.

💧 Brewing Guide

For this Winey Natural bean, the guiding principle is "preserve the expressive aroma and avoid over-extraction that causes harsh bitterness or overly heavy fermentation." Pour-over is ideal for drawing out flavor transitions, while cold brew can highlight the sweet mellowness of the grape and strawberry aromas.

• Suggested Temperature: 90°C–92°C (Use 91°C–92°C for a bolder aroma).
• Brew Ratio: 1:15–1:16 (e.g., 15g coffee to 225g–240g water).
• Suggested Grind: Medium-fine grind (switch to medium grind for cold brew).
• Suggested Brewing Method: Pour-over and cold brew are best; also great as single-origin espresso to experience the sweet and sour layers.

Quick Adjustment Tips:

• For more prominent grape/strawberry aroma: 91–92°C, 1:16 ratio, slightly faster pouring rhythm → Higher aroma, more open layers.
• For more sweetness and smoothness: 90°C, 1:15 ratio, slightly finer grind → Concentrated fruity sweetness, rounder mouthfeel.
• To reduce heavy fermented sensations: Control total extraction time and flow rate, avoid being too slow → Cleaner and crisper flavor.

Brewing Tip: If extracted too deeply, Winey Natural beans easily push the fruit wine notes into a heavy fermented sensation. It is recommended to adjust based on "clear aroma, balanced acidity and sweetness, and a sweet finish."
