Product Description

The dry fragrance has a complex sweetness, suffused with rustic, raw sugar sweetness that takes the form of palm sugar, barley malt, and dark agavae in the ground coffee. Adding hot water elevates this sweetness, coming off more like toffee covered nuts, or caramel almond bark. The cup has a fruit pulp flavor tucked under a base sweetness that's a big like brown rice syrup. It becomes more apparent as the cup cools down a bit, and has aspects of fruit skins from grapes and cherries. It's that sweetness that comes with what's left of the fruit flesh put up against the less-sweet outer layer of skin. Bittersweet chocolate flavors come up, and with a muscovado sugar flavor, make up a sturdy base coffee flavor. This description is from the cupping notes of our coffee importer, Sweet Maria's
