Tanzanian Peaberry
Brewed a vac pot using 35 grams to make 2 mugs (approx 20 fl oz) this morning.
Alistair from the Elysian Room swears by this stuff, but I am just not getting it. I have brewed this varietal 6 or 7 times, and the best way I can describe it is "muddy". I thought I might be brewing too long (about 3 minutes total from when the water starts to come up into the top globe until I shut off the flame), so I tried shortening the brew time today to about two minutes, but it ended up tasting too watery. There are definitely strong flavors in the cup, but it seems like the flavors are competing with each other, leaving nothing special as an overall result.
Maybe I will try it in a french press later to see if that makes any difference.
