Notes
The Sauna name refers to multi-temperature pour stages. Initial high-temperature pours extract brightness and acidity. Cooler later pours extract sweetness without over-extracting bitterness. Requires a variable-temperature kettle. The dripper starts ON the server with valve open for partial bypass, then lifted OFF to close valve for immersion.
