Gently pungent in aroma and flavor, with spicy wood notes that round toward a banana-toned fruit. A hint of flowers. In the cup quite sweet with a savory/salty edge, subdued acidity, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Rich but simple finish.
 
【Note】
Unique long berry cultivated by Co-op style growers.  Value of coffee beans has changed since the world market change their aim to Specialty coffee.  Some growers changed their cultivation "mass" to "environmentally harmonized" and start micro size farming.
