High-grown (2,000 m) natural Bourbon — delicate, floral, tea-like (linden blossom, peach crumble, black tea, gooseberry). Built on the Lance Hedrick clarity playbook, tuned for a delicate natural — clarity first. Grind sits at the coarse end (58): Hedrick adds extraction with the bloom and pour intensity, not fines, and naturals turn bitter/muddy when over-extracted — so we start coarse and only go finer if it reads thin/sour. Temp stays modest (93 → 92 °C) — temperature is a weak extraction lever but a strong bitterness one; 94–95 °C creeps roasty even on lights. A big ~4× dose bloom (60 ml), long 80 s to fully off-gas the CO₂ and saturate the bed (the xBloom can't hand-swirl), then a single gentle main pour (2 pours total) for maximum clarity — fewer pours = fewer fines = a cleaner, more aromatic cup, exactly what a tea-like coffee wants. If it's flat, add pour intensity/agitation or lengthen the bloom before grinding finer; want it lighter and more complex, widen to 1:17 or dilute to taste. First brew pending.
Off? one change at a time: Flat/thin → more agitation or a longer bloom FIRST, then grind finer (lower number). Bitter/drying → coarser, cooler (92→90 °C), or wider ratio/dilute. Hollow → a more turbulent main pour or longer bloom. Naturals go bitter when pushed — keep it gentle.
