【Impression】 
Dark, full body and bitter but light and sharp.  Bitterness of coffee does not stay, whereas it gives strong impression and satisfaction at a first sip.  Nutty flavor together with sweetness in bottom. 
I recommend this as a first cup on fine spring or early summer morning.  Food pairing may be vegan homemade pancakes with a touch of maple sugar inside.
2nd Cup: Unlike the first impression, my second cup taste clear and light body, with depth of flavor consisted of layer of bitterness and a tip of sourness as tone.  But, still, this is good for a morning cup, from spring to summer.  

 【Note】
100% typica., traditional free-washed Colombian coffee.  It might sound strange but, since majority has shifted to mass-farming, this traditionally produced coffee became so called "SPECIALTY" coffee, which has lemony citrus and full nutty flavor with touch of sourness.  City roast is recommended.
