About
My name is Arby Avanesian, and it's my personal opinion that fine brew water is key to experiencing great coffee and tea.
(See our World Class Endorsements!)
Over the years, I've come to the conclusion that the main impediment to quality brews is generally the water. I did my best to avail the situation by providing free, open-source recipes on my blog, Empirical Tea.
The feedback I received from releasing those recipes convinced me that I was not alone in expecting better performance from my brew water, and that there was a functional void to fill in the community. I found myself at the right place and time, already having a particular set of skills and being asked to use them.
Enter empirical water, the natural culmination of years of dedication to the craft.
empirical water is my offering to all the other folks out there who are so unnecessarily serious about specialty brewing. I hope you'll give my creations a chance to knock your socks off.
