Curve Hardwork Primitiva Fine Robusta Bukidnon Roasted Coffee

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

Bukidnon is not only abundant with beautiful landscapes and lush vegetation, you will also find some incredible Philippine coffee beans grown in the area. Like the much-loved Robusta, strong and with a rounded body. Part of the Curve Hardwork Series, this coffee exudes a heady aroma characteristic of the bean, with flavor notes of spiced nut and dried berry.

PREPARATION AND PAIRINGS

Curve Hardwork Primitiva Fine Robusta Bukidnon Roasted Coffee comes in whole beans, and will need to be ground. A general rule: the finer the grind size, the more extraction you get. The coarser the grind, the less extraction.

Finer ground coffee is closely packed, and will take water a longer time to pass through, resulting in an extraction with a more intense flavor. Finer grounds are great for pour-over brewers. Coarser ground coffee, on the other hand, means water will mover quicker between the grounds, extracting only some of the flavor. This is good for brewers like the French Press, where it takes more time to get a perfect brew.
