【Impression】
Medium dark to dark, full bodied, fruity citrus with hibiscus aroma with caramel like sweetness, complex flavor: lemony sourness, fragrant flavor of roasted almonds, barley malts like juicy deep sweetness with tropical fruits, mixed fruit-ness of oranges, grapefruits and papayas, a long lasting  aftertaste with citrus sourness.  Unique flavor, which even coffee lovers may have divided opinion. Mocha lover may like this high sourness level flavor.  Serving sugar and milk varies flavor in the wide range, especially sugar makes it unique.  One of the best for iced coffee, water blew.
Special care may be necessary for water temperature to hand-brew methods: sourness enhanced, extracted solely without harmonizing and sweetness suppressed originally, not extracted from the beans.
