TN Barrels Coffee Cooper’s Pick

Description

Cooper’s Pick is a small-batch, barrel-finished blend built for depth and balance. Selected Arabica lots are finished in reclaimed Tennessee whiskey barrels, then roasted to a profile that preserves sweetness while adding weight and gentle oak complexity. The cup presents toasted oak at the forefront, a rich dark-cocoa backbone, and a dried-cherry fruit note on the finish. Packaged in an 11 oz tin to lock in freshness and showcase our barrel technique. Versatile for espresso and milk-based drinks, while remaining clear and rewarding in manual brews.

Tasting notes
• Main: toasted oak, dark cocoa
• Secondary: dried cherry, light brown sugar

Recommended brew methods and grind
• Espresso: fine grind, firm tamp, extract to taste.

• Filter / pour-over: medium grind, start at a 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio and adjust to taste.

Brewing tips
• Water temperature: 92 to 96°C (195 to 205°F).
• Let rest 48 to 72 hours after roasting for optimal development.
• For filter brew, increase dose slightly to emphasize sweetness and body.
• For milk drinks, favor a slightly darker extraction to bring forward chocolate and barrel notes.

Storage and freshness
Keep in a cool, dark place. Avoid repeated exposure to air, heat, and direct sunlight. For peak flavor, use within 4 to 6 weeks of roast.
