Brewing guidance
Subterra recommends a comparatively strong 1:14 brew ratio and a slightly coarser pour-over grind. Control drawdown and extraction to preserve lemon-like acidity, sweetness, clarity and finish.
Use these numbers as a starting recipe, not a fixed rule. Coffee age, water chemistry, brewer geometry and roast development affect solubility. Change one variable at a time and taste as the cup cools; this makes it easier to judge body, acidity, clarity and finish. Whole-bean coffee may also benefit from a short degassing period before final dialing in.
Choosing and storing this coffee
Whole bean or brew-specific grinds in 8 oz, 12 oz, 1 lb and two-pound packages. Choose the option that matches your brewer because pre-ground coffee cannot be adjusted after arrival. Keep the package tightly sealed in a cool, dry cabinet away from heat, sunlight, moisture and strong odors.
