Cafec Flower Cup 4

Light 4:6

This Tetsu Kasuya 4:6 variation for the Flower Cup 4 shifts the early pour balance toward sweetness when the standard split tastes too sharp. It keeps the familiar cadence and strength structure while softening acidity.

Notes

Use 50g for the first flavor pour and 70g for the second, leaving the later strength pours unchanged. Hold grind and 93°C steady so the taste difference reflects only the early-pour balance.
