Blind Assessment

Quite sweet with a crisp, bitter/savory edge. Delicate. Hazelnut, fresh-cut fir, flowers, a hint of bay leaf in aroma and cup. Balanced, quiet acidity. Lightly syrupy, lively mouthfeel. Flowers in particular carry into a delicately drying finish.

Who Should Drink It

Those who enjoy coffees with a brisk, bracing character that derives from the green coffee itself rather than from darker roasting.
