Blind Assessment: Delicate and brisk. Honey, fresh-cut pine, peach, hints of flowers and oolong tea in aroma and cup. Gently brisk acidity; buoyant, silky mouthfeel. A savory hint in the cup carries into a crisply tart finish.
Notes: The blend name ‘Love Letter’ suggests the gift of coffee. Namusairo is a small-batch specialty roaster based in Seoul, South Korea, specializing in very high-end micro-lots with an emphasis on sustainable practices and unique flavors.
