Juicy and fruity beans are delivered from the Caribbean Island.  Although HIGH is recommended roasting grade, lightly ground FULL-CITY beans has less sourness.

Aroma:3, Sweetness:4, Sourness:2, Bitternss:4, Body:3   (0-5) 

【Impression】
Roasted Almonds like fragrance & Flavor. 

Taste like flavor coffee, "Hazelnut ".  Nutty, spicy flavor with middle and clear body,  Almonds like sweetness mixed with lime like acidity lightly touched, a tip of bitterness, over fermented red wine like bitterness, remained as aftertaste.   

 

This cup fits anytime of the day/year /situation when feeling relaxed.  Aroma of this coffee must be fully enjoyed, not in rush.
