Overall comments on Qianjie Coffee

We have been looking forward to the aroma of unwashed beans in El Salvador. The aroma of banana, pineapple, passion fruit and sorghum wine is a kind of olfactory enjoyment. This coffee is recommended for hand brewing and medium grinding. It is recommended that the water temperature is 90 degrees and the ratio of gouache to powder is 1:15.
