【Impression】
Light to medium, mellow sweet aroma, roasted almonds, hazel nuts, cashews, roasted almond butter, touch of caramel, sheer peach, extremely mild, clear, clean, fruity, well balanced sweetness and bitterness, light texture, unique fruity-ness, raw almonds, orange, high tone citric acidity, sheer but high lemony flavor, lime, mayer lemon, white grape fruits, fruity sweetness, plum, white grape, granny smith, brief fruit acidity followed by fruity sweetness as an aftertaste.  

【Note】
Fruity Cuban beans deliver light Caribbean flavor.  TL is third in Cuban grading system: Crystal mountain SC19, ELT SC18, TL SC17.  Compared to Crystal mountain, TL may look smaller but flavor does not follow.  Considering the price, TL will make one of the best choice for "american" type of light texture coffee.  Although Crystal mountain has been one of my morning choices, TL has high capability to replace the position.
