Gunpowder Blend

[virtix]

"Muzzleload your day"

A blend that works great as both drip and espresso. Offered as two discreet roasts: Bright and Deep. Deep being darker and Bright lighter. Both pull nice shots, too.

Above are civil war soldiers in VA posing and drinking coffee(?) and eating hardtack. The looks on their faces is revealing of the hardness of the time.

v0.9.0 recipe (similar to Muleskinner, but more sweet, fruity, and smooth )

Sample

Coffee Origin	Farm/Coop	Amount (grams)
Brazil - Carmo de Minas - natural		200
Colombia - Corregimiento	Palmichal Microlote	300
Ethiopia Harrar		125
Kenya AA Kabringara	700 Karithathi Farmers	125
Nicaragua	Cafe de Los Angeles	250
		1K

Notes: at FC it's very bright and intense as espresso. Very nice as a drip.

TODO:

1. Go a little deeper in the roast
2. Adjust the blend, a little less of the Kenyan.

tastes like muleskinner (of course?). Try this, removing Nicaragua and upping the Brazil. Adds simplicity, perhaps, yet still maintains complexity. Also, develop between 2:30 and 2C.

Coffee Origin	Farm/Coop	Amount (grams)

Actually, thinking of changing the brand; that is, making the above v2 for Muleskinner Espresso and using "Gunpowder" name as the Working Man's blend.
