Roaster’s Comments
Roast light medium to enhance mild acidity of Bourbon Santos, core characteristics of this varietal.  Enjoy clear and mild Americano type flavor w/o milk and sugar.


【Impression】
Light body, mild and airy texture, fine clear flavor.  Almond like nutty sweetness with a touch of bitterness, fruity light pear like sourness. 
Certainly it tastes coffee and have soothing aroma, but does not leave “impression” or after taste, just like having green tea.  This light flavor coffee may fit with occasions and can pair with any foods.
