    <description><![CDATA[We received 40 kilograms of the Hambela Wamena natural in late June. The 2026 harvest dried longer than last year's, 28 days on the beds instead of 22, and it shows in the cup. More concentrated fruit, a heavier body, and a finish that lingers well past the last sip.]]></description>

    <link>https://mossblendpathyx.com/</link>
    <description><![CDATA[Cold brew is not complicated, but the ratio matters more than most people think. We have been making it at the roastery every Friday morning since May, and after a lot of testing we have settled on a 1:14 ratio with a 16-hour steep in the refrigerator.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Haruki returned from Huila in late May with 60 kilograms of the 2026 Gutierrez washed lot and a notebook full of observations. The farm has added two new raised-bed drying sections since 2024, and the processing has changed in a way that is visible in the cup.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[When people taste the Guji Natural for the first time, the most common reaction is surprise. The blueberry note is not subtle. It sits right at the front of the cup and it does not taste like something added. That is because it was not added. It came from the drying bed in the Guji zone of Ethiopia, where the whole cherry spent 28 days in the sun before the fruit was removed.]]></description>

    <guid>https://mossblendpathyx.com/notes/cold-brew-ratio-guide.html</guid>
    <description><![CDATA[Cold brew has a reputation for being forgiving, and in some ways it is. You can steep it too long and it will still be drinkable. You can use a slightly wrong grind and the result will be acceptable. But if you want a cold brew that is genuinely good, the ratio is the variable that matters most, and getting it right requires understanding what you are actually trying to extract.]]></description>

    <guid>https://mossblendpathyx.com/notes/direct-trade-coffee-what-it-means.html</guid>
    <description><![CDATA[Direct trade is not a certification. There is no body that audits it, no label that guarantees it, and no standard that defines it. Any roaster can use the term. What makes it meaningful or not is the specifics: who you bought from, what you paid, and whether you have actually been to the farm.]]></description>

    <guid>https://mossblendpathyx.com/notes/v60-pour-over-technique-kyoto.html</guid>
    <description><![CDATA[The V60 is the brewer we use most at the roastery. Haruki brews a cup every morning between 7:30 and 9:00 before the cupping session starts, and the method has stayed mostly the same for four years. It is not complicated, but the details matter more than most guides suggest.]]></description>

    <guid>https://mossblendpathyx.com/notes/coffee-cupping-protocol-beginners.html</guid>
    <description><![CDATA[The first time most people hear about cupping, the slurping puts them off. It sounds performative. It looks strange. But the slurping is functional: it aerosolises the coffee across the palate and makes flavours accessible that you would miss drinking normally. Once you understand why, the protocol makes sense.]]></description>
