Ibonia Estate from Sey

Sey · Kenya - Kiambu · ★★☆☆☆

Grind: #17-20 pour over · Water: 209-210°F

Blackberry, hibiscus. Roasted June 10 2026. More balanced and wine like.

First pour was at 17 with 624g out, 209F. This was a hot washed pour that turned out muddy, heavy and a tad bitter. 17 was a bold move. The pour was close to 7 minutes. Way too long. Washes like it hot. Tastes fruity.

Next try will be 20 grams hoping it all the same. Came out way too watery and flat. Pour time was at about 5 mins. So the timing was good, but I can't get into this coffee. It's too much of a fruit bowl for me.

Matty liked this one a lot. Not for me.

Guests coming this weekend so I went and got three bags of Dogwood. Not amazing, but it will do.
