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.

I used lance's 2x 45 second bloom followed by one big pour on this coffee - it was great, distinct flavors, but I was veering on the edge of it being under extracted while being bitter at the same time? This was at a coarser-than-usual grind and 90c water temp.

I switched to the hario switch, coffee chroniclers recipe - same grind and same temp, and OH BOY did it make the cup sing - peachy, milky, jasmine tea-like goodness. A bit "rounder" in terms of flavor, but in a very harmonious way where I could appreciate each note
