Giku Hill [Auction Lot

This is our first year participating in the Long Miles Coffee Project private auction. During the season, every day cherry is delivered to the stations with hill level separation - and these lots are continually evaluated for quality throughout the season. The auction sees the very best of the harvest - tiny day lots - separated out and sold directly to roasters, returning a higher premium directly to Long Miles. This is the very best of Giku hill, and it’s a banger Brew Guide: Best Brewed with: Filter Lightest Roaster Influence: We nearly always roast coffees with a blank reference screen, starting fresh - but in this instance, we used the last Giku natural lot as a ref. This day lot wanted to run a little slower (marginally higher moisture content) - but we found we liked the result. Bright and jammy Best Rested: 4+ weeks Filter: 62g/L, 94°C when fresh; 90°C when rested Espresso: Turbos - 18g to 46g in 22 - 26s. Excellent as espresso. We're tasting: Big yellow fruit aromatics - pomelo rind and yellow plum, alongside summer berries. In the cup it's creamy and sweet - we find a ripe strawberry note alongside slightly lactic acidity, reminding us of strawberry milkshake, with sweet pastry notes supporting (buttery, brioche, hints cinnamon and nutmeg). As it cools we find some blackcurrant leaf, ripe persimmon and golden raspberry.
