THE DEETS

The Black Sheep is from Ximeng in China's Yunnan province. This lush mountainous area is located near the borders of Myanmar and Laos. After harvesting the ripest cherries, they undergo an initial 30-day anaerobic fermentation, drying to 35% moisture, and then an additional 20-day anaerobic fermentation before being dried to 10-12%. We taste a blackberry acidity up front, with loads of funky berry notes and a thick, dark chocolatey finish. 

BREW IT RIGHT

  • 17:1 water-to-coffee for drip and 2.5:1 for spro.

  • Try a finer grind for both drip and spro.

  • Go Hario V60 for dynamic cups that sing.

  • Go Clever for sweet and balanced cups.

REST IN PEACE

As coffee rests, the volatility of the roast mellows, allowing it's natural sweetness and varietal character to shine. We rest washed coffees 5-10 days, naturals for 10-15 days, and experimentals for 15-30 days.
