Lotus Water – Sodium

Lotus Water allows you to create water that enhances the desirable flavors of your coffee and mutes the unwanted ones. The two variables that have the biggest effect on your coffee, besides the coffee beans themselves, are the water you use to brew them. These are several liquid ingredients for adjusting the composition of water to help you conjure up that much-desired ideal cup of premium coffee. Sodium (similar to potassium), sodium bicarbonate significantly changes the acidity of the final coffee, but it can also be used to tame bitterness or unpleasant taste notes. Moreover, unlike the sharp taste of potassium, sodium creates a smooth and elegant finish that is very pleasant. When used to make coffee that doesn't add a lot of flavor, using only sodium as an alkalinity source can result in a slightly one-dimensional flavor profile (1 drop of concentrate in 450ml of water adds 5ppm of CaCO3 alkalinity.)
