Episode 002. We're back, baby.
If you missed our anniversary drop in Episode 001, don't worry; we still have a few bags left. By now, you've either had this coffee, or you've been thinking about it since our last email — either way, it’s been keeping you up at night. Here’s what you need to know:
Colombia · Huila · Castillo · 1,450 MASL
What We Taste: Marasca Cherry · Dark Chocolate · Brown Sugar · Rose
The Luxardo cherry hits first. Brown sugar and dark chocolate settle in underneath. Give it a minute, and the dried rose petals show up fashionably late… and end up being the life of the party. As the French say in Spanish, it’s muy especial.
We have [X] bags left at $20 • 8oz. When it’s gone, it’s gone for good.
V60 • Bloom & Pour • THE JUICE HUNT
The goal: maximum sweetness without losing this coffee's natural, boozy acidity. At Odd Box, we call that balance The Juice — and this method is how we hunt it down.
An extended 2-minute bloom coaxes out the sweetness and gives the grounds time to fully open up. Then one slow, continuous pour lets the acidity flow through cleanly. Best of both worlds. Surprisingly simple.
The hardest part is waiting before your first sip. Then buckle up at minute 2.
