        Most interesting coffee I've had in a while, the Turkish Delight flavour is so distinct. 👌

                  Well this was wild. My friend heads up sourcing at Corvus Coffee of Denver and they got some beans of eugenoides, the species of coffee that crossed with robusta to form arabica. It’s an exceptionally rare bean reserved normally for barista championships.

                  They put together a brilliant tasting that went through this lineage and culminated with several forms of eugenoides. It was mind blowing. The bitterness going from robusta to arabica and eugenoides went to nothing, and the tartness and citrus fruit in a granola bar flavor was wild. The pourover and especially espresso and cortado were incredible. They have to grind quite fine for the pour over such that the espresso and pour over grinds are similar. It sheds water much more readily than other beans for some reason.

                  The four of us at the tasting went through about 2 cups of caffeine worth across all varietals and the eugenoides piece would have been two trees for what we had. It’s a low yield and tiny tree so it’s hard to find and I’m so grateful to have had it. But it’s where the brighter flavors of arabica came from. Pretty cool to taste that.

                      @SKT it’s so cool. I think there’s a viable market for what they’re doing. No guarantees they’ll get eugenides again but they get plenty of other exotic coffees in terms of the varietal as well as the production. There are some mad scientist producers doing things like borrowing wine fermentation techniques for beans. A lot of crazy stuff out there to try.

                      This morning I had an exotic I picked up yesterday. I can’t justify drinking these on the regular and workday mornings require the coffee maker and carafe, but holy cow what a cuppajoe. This incredibly sweet coffee would have tasted comparatively bitter going back and forth with eugenoides as I was doing across the cuppings yesterday, which is insane.

                                  I started travelling with a V60 a couple of years ago and it's a game changer. Even the shittist of hotels can be okay when you can get a decent morning brew.

                                        Japan is sort of what we do.

                                        China, Thailand, Mexico, Turkey or Portugal would be WTF......
