【Impression】
Medium, fruity, highly citric aroma, kumquat, cardamon, orange peel, passion fruit, fresh pears, raw almond meal, high tone ground cacao nib, touch of steamed soy beans, very clean mouth feel, juicy, mellow, well balanced sweetness and bitterness, Inca berry, citric acidity hidden, touch of ginger, almond sweetness, lemon juice, yuzu peel, no tangy bitterness detected, a tip of dark chocolate, brown sugar, clean fruity sweetness as a long lasting aftertaste.  

【Note】
Quality of Yemen coffee has been improving rapidly.  Impression above may not explain even a tip of flavor.  This lot from Haraaz introduces the flavor non of other beans have, yet presents full of traditional Arabian flavor.  Fruity it is, nothing can imitate and replace this...
