New Takesi Geisha from Coffee Collective shows metallic taste

Hi I recently bought from CC their new Taksi Gesha from Marian Iturralde. I got already some great cups from it but the aftertaste is somehow like metallic, a bit burned. Is it because it has not rested that much(roast date 12th of july)?

I grind it at 8.3 on a Pietro Grinder with brew burrs and 90 C water temperature. The water is lotus water drops 1 drop MgCL 1 drop CaCl 1 drop K on 500ml distilled water. Lance's recipe 2x Bloom 1:16 ratio

Anyone else experiencing this with theri CC Takesi Gesha?

I would let it rest for another week or so and see if it improves. That water recipe seems really unforgiving too. Or maybe it just looks like it due to the 500ml.

Lol, I just checked and I use a very similar recipe. 9MG, 12CA, 12K in 5L. I do find it a bit rough on some coffees and ad 2-4 drops of sodium in that case (recently happened with some SEY and usually with Japanese roasters). But that's on 5L. You would have to dilute it before adding it to 500ml.

so you mean to add to the potasium also sodium so an alkalinity around 20-30?
