bean log 2026-03-31 tue 0517: handwritten the elements tasting notes in three columns with finca los angeles el salvador stamp

prelude

having trouble deciding on a recipe
after yesterday’s sour/bitter combo.
pallette is not articulated enough.

grind

based on observation of sourness,
lets keep moving finer, from 1.8.4 to 1.9.0.
16.1g beans, 4 spritzes r.d.t..

aroma

swear: that the first few seconds
after the catchment opens
are the strongest, then it dissipates.

brew

256 g purified water.
0:00 - 2:45 immersion
2:45 - 3:45 drawdown

acidity

sour/bitter confusion
yesterday? this cup: balanced.
acidity present
at at sidetongue.

sweetness

noticed as the cup cooled as pockets exploding

body

both wet and oily
both foreground and reverberation

finish

delicious, lingering. this confusion:
end of cup or aftertaste? probably
the former

experience

first sip pierces
back with arcs, overtones
sparkling. last sip
still launches
single firework

flavor

little spikey. finca bag says
”blackberry cobbler,” which can
apparate to mind even in
this present cup.

listening

album “pioneers of electronic music”
starts with ussachevsky, creepy spacey,
continues with luening.
