1) After pouring both the coffee and the water, stir the coffee 10 times. I suggest you use a bamboo stirrer. Avoid sharp objects.
2) Screw the press and let steep for 4 minutes
3) Press slowly, if the press gets stuck, just lift the press and try again. It is normal.
4) Serve or seal the lid.

Review: This is a floral coffee, which with its different and unique character has quickly become a favorite of mine. The distinct citrus notes give a fresh and light feel, which makes the coffee great as cold brew. The freshness also raises the floral tones, making the coffee stand out of the crowd. When I drink this coffee, I can only feel how easy and fresh it is, I would recommend drinking this on the balcony for a summers afternoon.
