Definitely get the strawberry and pink peppercorn here with some star anise. A really interesting coffee. A little bit flat at the end, and acidity is a bit muted but give a strong grade for the uniqueness.Cupping Method:16:1, 94C in the Hario v60 per Bean Archives recommendation

Weird looking varied roast, similar to what I saw in my last Brainwave sample. It almost looks like the beans sat too long on one side of the roaster. The coffee itself was pretty good: fruity, funky, and fun. I get a nice natural sweetness with a distinct strawberry note. There is also a slightly darker woody overtone that feels out of place.
Beans may be better than roast here. I am not totally sold on Brainwave yet after two tries, but there is enough potential here for me to give it another shot.Cupping Method:Got coffee from Bean Archives, 92C, 18:1 worked best on v60
