Epoch

Tasting notes

About this bean

Epoch is a light roast from Agro, sourced from Ethiopia. It is prepared using the natural method. Natural processing dries the bean inside the whole cherry, which often imparts fruit-forward sweetness and a heavier body. Results can vary widely between farms. Light roasts retain more of the origin character and tend to taste brighter, with more pronounced acidity. They are denser than darker roasts, so they usually need a finer grind and a longer extraction to dial in. The roaster lists tasting notes of Strawberry, Yuzu and Tiramisu. Tasting notes are the roaster's reference, not a guarantee; your cup will be shaped by your grinder, water and recipe. Home baristas on Puck Yeah have logged 7 shots of this bean, with an average community rating of 7.3 out of 10 across 7 ratings.
