【Comments】
Full body, silky texture, aromatic and gentle aftertaste.  Well established and stimulating aroma, fully matured flavor of sweetness and bitterness.  Orange like acidity mildly slips out from dark-cacao like bitterness, chocolaty sweetness covers around to harmonize flavor.  Cool and refreshing but fits better to winter, or after dinner.  This cup reminds me of Armagnac, aromatic, fruity, pearly and well matured taste of French brandy…
Good for espresso lover, taste better with milk and a piece of chocolate, or something sweet with strong and impressive character in flavor.


【Notes】Mondul Estate is located in Arusha and Moshi Region, the largest coffee producer of Tanzania, at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro

Kilimanjaro with leaf soil and relatively stable climate, Mondul Estate produces about 1500kg/ha of higher quality beans with grading average percentage of AA 30% and AB 60%. 
Introducing highly systemized production skills, the estate is divided into 4 areas, based on cut-back, and rotates production cycle among them to enable to maintain high and sustainable quality/quantity of 2 varieties as shade grown: Kent and BOURBON.
