Competition

Nel Drip Traditional by Gota Team

Finer than a traditional cloth brew, this competition-style nel recipe pushes extraction without abandoning controlled flow. It targets an intense yet composed cup with layered sweetness, clear structure, and a persistent finish.

Notes

Start finer than a classic nel setting, but watch the drawdown rather than assuming cloth cannot clog. Keep pours small and repeatable, avoid disturbing the filter walls, and coarsen immediately if the finish turns drying despite balanced strength.
