【Imression】

Light to Medium body, refreshing flavor, airy touch/texture.  Smooth and well-balanced, caramell like sweetness with lime like light acidity.  Making a cup darker, matured plum like deep sweetness comes with a touch of light acidity.   

Sweet and light at a first sip.  Flavorful aroma gradually grows with a slight sourness once it reaches to throught.  Rather light, a good cup in early sumer morning.

I prefer to have this cup w/o milk/suger, w/ cinammon raisin bagels with a bit of "Earth-balance".

Overall, roasting of "The coffee market" is OK, although any of their samples does not impress me enough this time...  Certainly, they roast beans on order base, so there is no doubt with freshness of packages delivered.
