whispers of wine is a medium-roast blend of ethiopian and rwandan caturra, processed anaerobically, which drives the pronounced fruit-forward and fermented-sweet character in the cup. expect blueberry upfront, followed by honey and honeycomb sweetness that lingers through the finish. the anaerobic process seals the cherries in a low-oxygen environment before drying, amplifying those winey, syrupy qualities the name suggests. at medium roast the structure stays intact without tipping into heavy body, making it well-suited to filter brewing, where the fruit clarity and sweetness can open up fully without espresso pressure masking the finer detail.
common questions
What does 【IN THE COFFEE KYOTO】紫微芳醸 / Whispers of Wine taste like?
it tastes of blueberry, honey, and honeycomb, with a sweet, fruit-forward profile driven by its anaerobic processing. the winey quality suggested by the name comes from that fermentation stage rather than any additive.
How is 【IN THE COFFEE KYOTO】紫微芳醸 / Whispers of Wine grown and processed?
it is made from caturra varietal beans sourced from ethiopia and rwanda, then processed anaerobically, meaning the cherries ferment in a sealed, low-oxygen environment before drying. this method intensifies the fruity and honeyed sweetness in the finished cup.
How should I brew 【IN THE COFFEE KYOTO】紫微芳醸 / Whispers of Wine?
as a medium-roast coffee with delicate fruit and sweetness, it performs well with filter methods such as pour-over or drip, which give clarity and let the blueberry and honeycomb notes express themselves cleanly. keep water temperature moderate, around 90 to 93 degrees celsius, to avoid pushing the anaerobic fermentation notes into harsh territory.
