Drip Bag Coffee - 【旭香】 (5 sachets)

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

The core of this blend is "low acidity, body, and a bittersweet balance." When brewed as a drip bag, the flavor concentrates more on the mature roasted base of dark chocolate cocoa + roasted nuts, with a light woody note and a mild sweet aftertaste in the finish. If you prefer a dark-toned, cocoa-nutty profile and want a stable, highly drinkable black drip coffee, this is a great fit. It is also friendly for milk coffee (brew it stronger and add milk; it will still retain its dark chocolate and hazelnut outlines).

• Low-Acidity Mature Style: Steers clear of bright fruity acidity, focusing on roasted aromas, body, and stability.
• Clear & Drinkable Primary Tones: Dark chocolate bittersweetness and hazelnut/nuts form the main line, offering the most stable presentation.
• Milk Coffee Friendly: After adding milk/oat milk, the chocolate and nutty tones become even more concentrated.

💧 Drip Bag Brewing Guide | 10g/bag

We use oxygen absorbers for freshness, which packs the coffee grounds tighter inside the bag, potentially causing a slower flow rate during brewing. If the drip is too slow, it easily pushes the cocoa bittersweetness toward a "dry bitterness." We recommend tapping the grounds loose first, using a staged small water flow, and avoiding excessively long total brew times.

• Suggested Temperature: 88°C–91°C (Using a lower temperature concentrates the cocoa notes more).
• Suggested Water Volume: 155–175ml (10g/bag; choose 155–165ml for a thicker cup, or 170–175ml for a smoother cup).
• Suggested Cup Type: Tall cup (avoid steeping for a cleaner finish)
• Pouring Rhythm: Bloom for 25–30 seconds + primarily 2 pours (small water flow, steady dripping).

✅ Essential Drip Bag Tips (Must Do)

• Tap/Shake to Loosen Grounds (Crucial): Oxygen-free freshness packaging makes the grounds tighter and slows the drip rate. Tapping it firmly before tearing open improves the flow rate and ensures even extraction.
• Do Not Steep: Use a tall cup to maintain a dripping state, avoiding steeping which amplifies woody and bitter notes.
• Do Not Squeeze the Filter Bag: Squeezing easily drags the cocoa bittersweetness into dry bitterness and astringency.

Quick Adjustment Tips:

• For more chocolate and body: 88–89°C, 155–165ml, divide into 2 pours → Cocoa becomes more concentrated, mouthfeel becomes more solid.
• For milk coffee: Brew a stronger cup with 140–155ml, then add 120–180ml of milk/oat milk → Dark chocolate and hazelnut outlines will still shine through the milk.

Drip Bag Tip: We recommend focusing on the main line of "clean cocoa bittersweetness and stable mouthfeel thickness." Loosening the grounds + staged pouring + no squeezing is the easiest way to avoid dry bitterness and preserve the mature bittersweetness.
