【Note】
One of unique character of this beans is aroma: fruity and soothing. In high roast, the beans gave the highest tone and long lasting aroma while medium had less fruitiness. For the very first time, I tried Nordic roasting style and applied to this one, but I assume high is the best roasting degree to have both natural process flavor and Balinese flavor. Unlike usual Indonesian, Balinese flavor has mellow and mildness together with exotic spiciness.
