Mr. T, who previously worked as a top barista at a coffee company and holds the title of CROWD ROASTER Helper, created a recipe that anyone can easily brew this Esmeralda Special. .

Extracting Geisha seeds is sometimes difficult, but with this method, anyone can easily extract Geisha flavor, so please give it a try!

We, CROWD ROASTER management team, wanted to make the world's best coffee, which we may never be able to find again, as delicious as possible, so we searched for several extraction methods.

The desired taste is ``bringing out the unique jasmine and lemonade flavors of Geisha Washed to the maximum, with high clarity and a long aftertaste.''
In fact, the finish created by Mr. Yasuo this time has a smooth taste that resembles the finest silk. No matter who on the management team brews it, no matter how many times it is brewed, it will always be delicious.
With coffee this delicious, I want to try a flavor that incorporates all the best parts of each brew I tried!
That's what I always think when I come across wonderful beans from around the world.
However, the reality is that it is not so easy; if one side stands up, one side cannot stand up.
That is exactly the labyrinth of extraction.

In the meantime, I discussed this issue with Mr. T, and he gave me a well-balanced and easy recipe that takes advantage of all the characteristics of Geisha .

The result extracted with this recipe is based on the jasmine flavor of the classic Geisha washed, with a sweetness reminiscent of peach and a thick texture similar to molasses that has not been found in previous drips. I was able to.

Now, let me tell you some specific points to keep in mind when using hand drip.

 

In order to retain the jasmine eel flavor that is the most distinctive feature of Geisha Washed, while emphasizing clarity, we recommend a slightly coarser grind. (about 14 of EK43)

It is recommended that the water temperature be piping hot to bring out the maximum aroma.

Extraction was done at the temperature of freshly boiled water transferred to a pot.

Although it is possible to bring out a variety of aromas by extracting at high temperatures, it also tends to produce unpleasant tastes and astringency.
To suppress the unpleasant taste, we can counteract this by making the grind coarser and applying hot water during extraction.

Temperature changes are your biggest enemy when brewing coffee. Carefully warm up the dripper and server so that the temperature does not change even slightly.

Pour a large amount of steaming water to bring out the flavor.
(When the best flavor is extracted, 44g of hot water is added for steaming)
 

The steaming time is determined by how the scent develops.
The timing for the second pour is when the jasmine-like scent begins to emerge.
(At this time, I pulled the steaming to "55 seconds")

It's a little difficult, but it doesn't mean you have to steam it for a long time.
If you miss the right timing, the scent will disappear completely, so you have to start adding the second drop of hot water at the perfect time when the scent starts to develop.

For the second extraction, pour about 210ml of hot water at once (in 5 seconds!) within 60 seconds and stir twice with a spoon, etc.
The key here is to stir quickly and accurately without hesitation.

All you have to do is pour hot water until you reach the extraction amount of 500ml.

The final step is to pour the coffee into a well-heated cup.

This is a brand that wants you to enjoy the temperature changes slowly, so if you pour it into a cold cup, the temperature of the coffee will suddenly change and you won't be able to enjoy the flavor when it's at its warmest.
So, warm up the cup thoroughly before pouring the coffee.

When you first taste it, you can enjoy a floral and elegant flavor like jasmine.
As it cools, its expression changes, revealing a rich sweetness reminiscent of peach, which, combined with the clear taste, is reminiscent of peach tea.

In particular, this is a cup of coffee that you should enjoy until it cools down.
As it cools, its expression changes and the flavor becomes more complex.
Coffee that tastes good even when it's cold is a sure sign of high quality.

What did you think?

Of course, the quality and potential of this brand are among the best in the world, so you can enjoy a certain level of flavor no matter how you brew it.

I think the taste changes depending on how you brew it, so I think it would be fun to try the extraction method recommended by CROWD ROASTER and taste the difference in impression when brewing with other recipes.
