FLAVOR ALGORITHM AND DESIGN Ivica Cvetanovski

Roasted light based on conduction and moderate heat application with world class skill and care. Extensive roast, high front up heat that decreases, slowly building momentum to lead into an obvious crack. We focus on expression of rich fruit-based acidity.

SYNOPSIS

Although Varieties of coffee grown here are traditionally referred to as ‘heirloom’ , local varieties on farm level can be found.

Yirgacheffe is actually part of the Sidama region in southern Ethiopia and is has been sub-divided into its own micro-region.

Varieties in Ethiopia fall within two main groups – regional or local landraces (of which there are at least 130, 33 of which would hail from the Southern growing regions) or JARC varieties. It is still very hard to tell but it is highly likely that this lot contains a great percentage of JARC 740110 and 74112 varieties, developed in 1974 by the JARC, which are directly descended from local landraces indigenous to the Gedeo Region. Most farmers have a mix of both the improved and the indigenous landrace varieties (inherited from parents and grandparents) on their farms.

At least once a day, the collected coffee cherry is delivered to the mill, where it is pulped and then delivered to a fermentation tank, where it ferments for 12-18 hours depending on the climate at the time. After fermentation the coffee is fully washed through grading channels and is then delivered to dry on African beds. Once here, the parchment is turned regularly and protected from hot sun until it reaches the optimal humidity, at which point it is bagged and rested.

EXTRACTION RECOMMENDATIONS

Our World Brewers Cup recipe, One (1:1:1), for Hario V60-01/02 with Hario VCF-01/02 filters:

• Coffee: 20g.
• Water: 300g @ 93-95°C, TDS: 10-50 mg/l.
• 100g of 20 second pours in 3 total pours at 0:00, 1:00 and last pour at 2:00. Finish at 3:00.
• Pour by pulsing in helix formation during 20 seconds, starting from the centre, 5 revolutions per pulse. Ensure no grinds persist on the filter wall in the last pouring pulse.  
• At 01:00, 02:00 and 03:00, confirm the filter bed is flat and uniform. Avoid generating cavities and craters.
• Target a TDS reading of 1.40±0.02.
• Adjust only grind size and water temperature. 
• Grinding: Target 600-800μm. Example: 28 turns from the finest setting on Comandante. 
• If the flow ends past each minute, adjust your grind settings to finer and respectively for slower flow. 
• The recipe, technique and formula is singularly linear and time efficient. Learn more about linearly up- and downscaling our recipe here.

WATER RECOMMENDATIONS

Use water with balanced mineral content to optimize flavor and character. Keep Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) between 25-50 ppm or mg/l. We advise a temperature between 93-95°C for the best brewing experience. Target the following values.

Calcium (Ca)	0.9 mg/l
Sodium (Na)	1.7 mg/l
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)	1.4 mg/l
Potassium (K)	0.3 mg/l
Magnesium (Mg)	0.2 mg/l
Sulfate (SO4-)	<7.0 mg/l
Chloride (Cl-)	2.5 mg/l
Nitrate (NO3-)	0.1 mg/l
Fluoride (F-)	<0.1 mg/l
pH	6.2

 

STORAGE RECOMMENDATIONS

Please store in a cool and dry place in order to secure freshness and quality. To ensure best possible experience use within 3 months after roast date and 2 weeks after opening. We have invested significant time to research the durability of the coffee by actively refining our roasting algorithms to ensure perpetual quality post 3 months of production. Our flavor-lock packaging technology is based on processing and roasting. This ensures persisting and stable aromas, flavors and pro-experience.

TEMPORALITY RECOMMENDATIONS

Start using at will. Brew immediately or wait several weeks. Prepare for a championship with a strategy. It all depends on your goals.

We recommend using the coffees by first opening the container/bag one day before the first planned brew to enable a natural aeration of the coffees. Use according to the following matrix and remember these are general observations given parameters such as continent, country, region, variety, altitude, process, etc. combined with Coffea Circulor processing and roasting algorithms.

Plan your acquisition according to production schedules (roasting), event attendance (home/championship) and shipping priority (standard/courier).

0-3 days	Focused acidity
4-7 days	Optimal Coffea Circulor recommended praxis
8-14 days	Increased floral perception
15-21 days	Increased sweetness
22+ days	Increased balance
1+ month	Intact sweetness, peak intensity
2+ months	Inherent balance, possible reduced florals turning herbal
