HQ - Finca Santa Lucia Microlot - 200g

A Colombian coffee from Finca Santa Lucía, barrel-aged as its name says. Barrel aging typically adds a sweet, woody aromatic edge and a fuller body, which makes this a lot to sip slowly in one focused cup rather than swallow on your way out the door.

HQ lists this lot in its own catalog under the same name, code HQR08, at a filter roast in a 200g bag of whole beans. Brew it on a V60 or Chemex at a medium grind with water at 93 C and a 1:16 ratio, and give it a couple of minutes to breathe after grinding so the woody aromatics open up.
