【Note】
Nicaraguan unique, rare variety: Java Nica.  Their unique sweet fruity aroma, Bergamot orange or Madeline, add fruitiness in its flavor as well as aroma.  Due to this citric feeling may add impression of high acidity, but sweetness and bitterness has blended in well and makes gorgeous flavor.  

Can we see pointed heads of beans in the picture?  Its one of characteristic feature of Java Nica, even non professional can tell.
