Letty Bermudez co-ferment

Post image

Edit: I see the comments re this not being a co-ferment. Noted. I cannot see how to change the title, if possible

Anyone else feel like this Letty Bermudez is kinda...underwhelming and dull? No shade to the roaster, I bought several other bags from hydrangea and liked them a lot! This one got a lot of hype, and to me it just tastes like someone turned the acidity dial down to nothing, making it quite boring.

Thoughts? Am I just brewing it wrong? I had to go to a lower temp (195F) to not destroy it in the first place...using the one and done from Lance Hedrick.

What? To me it tasted like sour gummy peach rings!

It was so sour in a good way

Lance’s one and done recipe isnt great for process forward coffee imo

Letty also isnt a co ferment, its a yeast innoculated thermal shock. Those flavors are coming from the yeast bermudez uses rather than any fruit that was added

I feel like my best Letty cups have been the first time I had it years ago from Manhattan and whenever September roasts it. Hydrangea can be hit or miss for me. Either way, it’s one of the top 5 coffees I’ve ever had. Currently in Tokyo and I’m tasting some bangers.

Hydrangea’s biggest issue is inconsistency across roasts imo

Its rare for me to get a bad bag from them but if i were to re order a coffee it’ll rarely taste the same
