Brewing guidance
For a paper-filter starting point, use 20 g of coffee to 330 g of water at approximately 94–96°C. Saturate the grounds evenly and pour steadily. If the cup is thin or sharply sour, try a slightly finer grind while keeping the dose and water amount constant; stop when sweetness and clarity improve.
Frequently asked questions
Does black honey mean honey is added?
No. Black honey is the coffee-processing designation here. Honey is also a tasting reference, rather than a documented added ingredient.
What flavor profile should I expect?
Blue raspberry, dried apricot, honey and springlike florals. These are sensory descriptions; your brewing method and serving temperature affect their expression.
Which size and format should I choose?
10 oz; whole bean or grinds for espresso, drip, pour-over, AeroPress, cold brew and French press. Select the grind that matches your brewer. Whole bean offers flexibility; a preground selection is ready for its intended method.
How can I adjust the cup’s strength?
Change the brew ratio if the flavor is balanced but the drink is too weak or too strong. Use slightly more coffee for greater concentration. Change grind size when the issue is extraction, such as sourness or a dry finish.
Can I compare it with another coffee?
Yes. Keep coffee dose, water amount and brewer consistent, and taste both at a similar temperature. That makes roast, body and acidity easier to compare without confusing them with different strengths.
How should I keep it fresh?
Keep the coffee sealed away from heat, light and moisture. Grind whole beans shortly before brewing. Choose a bag size that fits your consumption so repeated opening does not expose a large supply to air.
Compare and prepare
Compare the profile with Timor-Leste Kailitau Honey Process Coffee, or browse the Specialty Coffee collection.
For the whole-bean option, a Turin DF54 grinder lets you adjust particle size between brews. Record the setting with your dose and water amount so the next cup is easier to repeat.
