Profile of the Soji Coffee MicroRoast

Sensory Profile: An Analytical Breakdown

• Aroma & First Impression: The experience begins with an elegant floral aroma, followed closely by a deep, winey sweet fragrance that prepares the palate for a heavy fruit profile.
• Flavor & Complexity: The palate explodes with a bright medley of orange and mixed berries, which smoothly transitions into the richer, concentrated sweetness of dried fruit and yellow tropical fruits.
• Mouthfeel & Finish: It boasts a velvety, juicy complex mouthfeel anchored by a medium-full syrupy body. The finish leaves a remarkably lingering sweetness and a multi-layered aftertaste that evolves long after your last sip.

Tailored Brewing Recommendations

1. Espresso Based Brewing

• Why it works: The medium-full syrupy body creates a dense, luxurious crema, concentrated fruit notes, and a balanced acidity.
• Target Recipe: Try a classic 1:2 or 1:2.2 yield ratio (e.g., 18g in, 36g–40g out) with a standard 26–30 second extraction time. This balances the punchy orange and berry notes with the deeper winey sweetness.

2. Cold Brew Black

• Why it works: A slow, cold extraction tempers the vibrant citrus acidity, drawing out an intensely smooth cup highlighted by the dried fruit and yellow tropical fruit flavors.
• Target Recipe: Use a 1:10 or 1:12 coffee-to-water ratio with a coarse grind. Steep in the refrigerator for 16–18 hours. Filter and serve over a clear ice block to accentuate the velvety texture.

3. Direct Milk Cold Brew

• Why it works: Steeping the grounds directly in milk fully captures the fat-soluble flavor compounds, transforming the winey sweetness and berry notes into a flavor reminiscent of liquid fruit cake or berries-and-cream dessert.
• Target Recipe: Mix a 1:10 ratio of coarsely ground coffee directly into fresh milk (Meiji/ Greenfields). Steep in the fridge for 24 hours and pass through a fine nylon filter or cheesecloth.

• • Pour-Over (V60 / Kalita Wave): Promotes a clean cup, accentuating the intricate layers of fruit and the bright, experimental acidity.
  • Immersion (AeroPress / French Press): Draws out the jammy sweetness and emphasizes the heavy, syrupy body resulting from anaerobic fermentation.
