How it brews

A dense abaca paper that drains slowly — in a fast dripper the paper itself can become the rate-limiter, holding water in contact with the bed for longer. Brewers tend to find more body and a rounder, more layered cup, at some cost to top-note clarity. In one roaster's blind test on a floral honey coffee — same recipe, only the paper changed — the T-92 cup read as noticeably more complex than the faster T-90 (author testimony, a single coffee, not a controlled study). Because it drains slowly it can stall on fine grinds or high-fines coffees; if drawdown creeps well past your target, grind a touch coarser.

How it brews

The same tabbed V60 cone in 01/02/03, but made from natural, unbleached pulp — so it's brown rather than white. That bleach difference is the one objective distinction from the standard white V60; retailers describe it as FSC-certified and made in Japan without glue. Whether the natural pulp drains faster or slower than the bleached version is not something Hario states and community reports are mixed, so we leave flow unrated rather than repeat the "natural tastes papery / drains slower" folklore. As with any paper, a pre-rinse settles the bed and warms the brewer.
