【Impression】
Smooth, siky texture.  Chiffon like thin, soft layer of bitterness and sweetness gradually wraps a tongue.  Creamy and mild, medium body, sweet flavor like roasted chestnuts, clear aftertaste with a tip of bitterness.  Prefer to blew with a paper fillter, slowly pour 85 celsius degrees water over medium ground beans.  Texture of coffee become more silky.
