    This is the best pink bourbon I've had this year, and on a very shortlist for the best cup of coffee I've had all year.

    It's a lovely-looking roast out of the bag. Very uniform, no quakers, visually light. Pre and post grind aroma is fairly unassuming.

    In the cup, it's fire. It's drinkable and good at every temperature. It has a silky but mouthfeel when you brew it stronger, almost like the glycerine character you get in a Saturnes. It's very sweet without distracting from the floral and fruit notes. I get white tea and lychee, and just a hint of sweet orange on the finish. There's a mid-palate hit of fresh fruit acidity but adds complexity and balance. It's fleeting. Red currant? Pomegranate?

    It reminds me a little bit of when I got the first samples from Mirra, who has now gone on to be one of the most exciting and innovative ultralight/Nordic style roasters. Spectacular effort and look forward to more.

    Cupping Method:I'm filing this review after 3 brews. I did a range of 91 to 94C, and 16:1 to 18:1 on the v60. It's pretty hard to mess this one up, I think.
