Cup of the Morning

In the large Sunergos mug this morning is a press from a batch of Ethiopia Idido Misty Valley roasted four days ago. The roast itself is maybe at a dark City+, perhaps a lighter Full City. What makes this cup interesting is that it was allowed to steep for just three minutes instead of four, as I wanted to negate some of the overextraction bound to occur with the tinier particles that gets tossed in with the properly-sized grounds that come out of the grinder. The resulting cup definitely felt less dense, almost cleaner, than is usually the case with this dry-processed bean, but that's not to say that it lacks flavor. Floral and chocolate notes are immediately noticeable, and as it cools, the cherry and strawberry notes pop a little, especially on the sides of the tongue.
