A tea-like profile for filter brewing
The green-tea descriptor refers to the brewed coffee’s sensory character; this is not a blend containing tea. A paper filter is a useful starting point for exploring the floral and citrus notes. The separately listed Captain’s Roast pods have their own supplied profile, so they should not be assumed to represent this exact Limu selection.
Brewing and storage
For filter brewing, 20 g coffee to 320 g water is a practical 1:16 starting point, rather than a tested recipe for this lot. Match grind to your brewer. If the cup is thin and sharp, try slightly finer; if it drains slowly and tastes drying, try slightly coarser.
For whole-bean preparation, compare Turin coffee grinders suited to your brew method.
