【Impression】
Medium to dark, nutty and lemon oil like citric aroma, mild, high body, clear, light texture, bold, rustic sweetness, dimensional flavor combination of sweetness as morasses and bitterness as dark chocolate, depth in flavor, bright acidity hidden underneath of sweetness and bitterness, spicy as hint of nutmeg, earthy, juicy sweetness as long lasting aftertaste.
Basic attributes resembles to Indonesian coffee, in aspects of earthiness, sweetness and flavor depth, but has distinct difference in aftertaste.  

【Note】
Caplami Longberry has an unusual seed shape resembles to Ethiopian Harrar Longberry.  As berries are, the tree has a bit odd shape with similarity to Geisha form.  JAVA is used to specify dark, bold type coffee, which is originally the name specially given to Tipica varietal brought to Indonesia and other by Dutch in 17th century.  History of global coffee markets somewhat relates to colonialization, which must be stored in our mind.  In the States, Java can be mean "Coffee".
