Why This Coffee Tastes This Way
1718 describes Java El Eden with jasmine and floral aromatics, a wine-like and citrus direction, and a smooth chocolate layer. The lot is identified as Java from Fresno, Tolima and uses honey processing with carbonic maceration after a short aerobic pre-fermentation.
Recommended Brewing
-
V60: A good starting point when you want the floral, jasmine and citrus details to remain easy to separate.
-
Chemex / Kalita: Useful for a cleaner, structured presentation of the wine-like and chocolate contrast.
-
AeroPress: Offers flexibility to adjust body without hiding the aromatic side of the coffee.
-
Espresso: Best approached as a carefully dialled straight espresso when the floral and process-led character is the main attraction.
1718 Brewing Tip: Start with whole beans if you plan to compare filter and espresso; the two methods need different grind settings and will present this coffee differently.
