Blind Assessment

Cleanly fruit-toned, tropical. Passion fruit, pineapple, honey, hazelnut, a hint of fresh yogurt in aroma and cup. Tart-leaning structure with bright acidity; plush, nectar-like mouthfeel. Finish simplifies to notes of crisply sweet pineapple with hazelnut undertones.

Bottom Line

A delightful fruit bomb of a coffee with an intriguing lactic acid note, perhaps due to processing: deeply sweet, richly aromatic, and compellingly original.
