Why this recipe
MATCHA CLOUD · DARK MATTER
Grind 49 · 88 °C · 44 s · 3:30–4:30
Calculated by BrewMind's AI from this bean's altitude, process and roast, then checked against physical limits before you saw it.
Fruit and floral aromas fade when pushed too hard, so the recipe is set to keep them. It is a very dense bean, slow to give up flavour, so it is set to draw out its sweetness.
The decisions
Granulated sugar. Dense beans give up flavour slowly, so it's set finer.
Dial in your grinder →88 °C for every pour. Holding it level keeps every pour extracting at the same pace.
45 ml of water, then a 44-second wait. Escaping gas pushes water away; waiting it out lets the pours that follow soak in evenly.
The Wave's flat bed needs one more pour to wet evenly. More, smaller pours stir the bed gently, for a cleaner, lighter cup.
45 → 100 → 145 → 185 → 225 ml
Circular pours wet the flat bed evenly.
Earlier recipes for similar beans helped set these numbers.
