Look for aroma before adjusting strength
For a first pour-over, weigh 17 g of coffee and use about 280 g water. Smell the freshly brewed cup and allow it to cool a little before judging its flavor. Keeping the first brew modest in size lets you try a second setting without using a large portion of the bag.
If the floral character seems hidden by an overly concentrated drink, dilute a small sample to see whether the balance improves. If it instead tastes thin or under-extracted, a modest grind adjustment may help more than dilution. Use the same coffee and water weights when testing that next grind setting.
Is this the naturally processed Lekempti?
No. This product is specifically identified as washed. Ethiopia is the country of origin, but that country name alone would not establish how a particular coffee was processed.
