It is the <strong>floral, aromatic profile<\/strong> in the range, drawing on sulfate and potassium to underline delicate top notes and lend an elegant, silky mouthfeel. Its composition builds on <strong>magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It is most rewarding on <strong>clean, high-clarity coffees with floral or tea-like character<\/strong>, where it lifts and refines aromatics rather than adding weight. It works well with Ethiopian coffees and Geishas, and generally improves the aftertaste. Where Jamm [2] builds body and Tonik [1] sharpens acidity, Lylac works at the delicate end, so it is often used in <strong>small proportions within a blend<\/strong> to add lift without overwhelming.<\/p>\n<p>There are <strong>two ways to use it<\/strong>. To <strong>build your brew water<\/strong>, start from a demineralised, distilled or RO base and add <strong>3 to 4 g per litre<\/strong>; Lylac is numbered [3], so recipes read as ratios such as 2\/1\/1 (Tonik\/Jamm\/Lylac) per litre, scaled with APAX LAB&#8217;s online calculator. To <strong>season after brewing<\/strong>, add a few drops per 200 ml cup and taste against an untreated cup. Shake before use.<\/p>\n<p>Two honest notes for the range: these are <strong>minerals, not flavourings<\/strong>, and they perform best on a clean demineralised base rather than the hard tap water common in Cyprus; and they <strong>should not go into an espresso machine&#8217;s tank<\/strong>, as they are scale-forming. A few drops into an espresso already in the cup is fine.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s included<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>1 x Lylac [3] mineral concentrate, 100 ml, dropper cap (about 150 brews)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to use<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Shake the bottle well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>In your brew water:<\/strong> add 3 to 4 g per litre to demineralised, distilled or RO water.<\/li>\n<li><strong>After brewing:<\/strong> add a few drops per 200 ml cup and stir.<\/li>\n<li>Use sparingly in blends to lift aromatics without flattening body.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Stocked in Nicosia and shipped across Cyprus.
