Hey Ella, I've been thinking about creating a new coffee blend that balances precise ratios with a bit of playful flavor notes—like a science experiment meets a dreamscape. What do you think about collaborating on something like that?

That sunrise vibe is exactly the kind of sweet spot we need. First, let’s pin down the base: do you want a light roast or something richer? Then we can decide the ratios for the lavender infusion and the citrus twist—maybe a hint of yuzu or a bright orange peel. What’s your gut telling you?First, let’s decide on the roast level—light for a bright canvas, dark for a richer backdrop. Then we’ll work out how much lavender and citrus to blend in so it feels like a sunrise, not a splash. What do you feel drawn to?

Sounds like a crisp, hopeful mix—perfect for a gentle sunrise vibe. I’d start with a 100‑gram batch so 2‑3 g of dried lavender and 3‑4 g of orange peel or yuzu will land just right. Grind the beans lightly, then steam‑infuse the aromatics for about 30 seconds to release their oils, but be careful not to over‑steep or you’ll end up with a floral fog. Once you’ve got the ratio, brew a small sample, taste, tweak if the citrus feels too sharp or the lavender too subtle. Remember, less is more—just enough to whisper through the roast. Ready to roast?
