Roasting log 01: opening the book
We are publishing our roasting notes in the open, including the batches we got wrong.
Transparency, for us, does not mean a beautiful diagram. It means writing down the number of the batch that tasted like cardboard and publishing it anyway.
Each log entry will carry: origin, altitude, process, roast curve summary, cupping score by two people, and one honest sentence about whether we would buy it again.
This is the page we would have wanted when we started. So we are making it.
