【Impression】
Medium body, clear and smooth body, citric lemony aroma with mixed herbal aroma of lemon glass, marjoram and oregano, clean but rich, clear fruity sweetness of mango, fresh maple syrup, a touch of lime, bitterness of cacao, tangy bitterness hidden, depth in flavor, multiple layers of bitterness and sweetness, a very long lasting aftertaste of clear and juicy sweetness.

【Note】
Some of Sumatra Mandheling's uniqueness has been replaced by clear and clean soothing flavor profiles.  Unlike usual  Mandheling, this lot has mild and delicate flavor to enhance/support richness in flavor.  These Beans has longer figure, similar to "Paca-mara" rather than "long berry"; however, flavor profile may be categorized to long berry with its chocolaty boldness.
