I Roasted a Kenyan Coffee and Didn't Like It

It Smells Better Than It Taste — a quiet coffee newsletter where I share what I’m learning about coffee, curiosity, and daily rituals, this channel is an extension of that space: https://www.itsmellsbetterthanittaste.com/ I picked up a Crown Jewel Kenyan — double fermented, double washed — because it had been three or four years since I'd had a Kenyan and I wanted something that would challenge me. I roasted it, rested it a month, brewed it on the V60 and pulled it as espresso, and I still didn't like it. This is the honest version of how I choose coffees, what I do when one doesn't land, and why I'm going back to re-roast it.
