Summary

The baking degree of this sapphire from Fenghuang Manor in Costa Rica is actually more suitable for making coffee by hand, so there will be several difficulties in making it. First of all, it can not be too fresh, and it takes longer to grow beans. Not enough time for growing beans will cause the carbon dioxide in the coffee beans to hinder the flow of water to extract the substances in the coffee, resulting in insufficient extraction.

The second is to bring out the fermented aroma of this coffee and make it more complete, which requires lengthening the extraction time for up to 35 seconds.

If the conditions of your friends permit, you might as well give it a try. I believe you can discover more different possibilities of this bean.
