Paul at Derelict Coffee Roasters is sharing his latest bold blend, Nihoniho, which is perfect for starting the day...or something.
Named after the settlement of Nihoniho, between Matiere and Mangaroa (now Ohura) on the former State Highway 40. According to the Te Aka Maori Dictionary, its name translates to quarrelsome, cantankerous and argumentative.
Much more than just a forgotten settlement, Nihoniho is a Coffee with attitude.
Blended using a coffee from Papua New Guinea, sourced through Langdon Coffee Merchants, and Cauca E.P from Opal Coffees Palo Alto Reserve.

Tasting Like: Black Magic & Nihllism.
Nihoniho is suited to espresso or french press, with or without milk.
Espresso: 18.5g dose, 30g yield in 30 seconds.
Paul finds Nihoniho tastes great 10 days after roast, hitting its sweet spot after 2 weeks.
