Cupping Evaluation
Cupping Details
On the nose we find caramel and peach with some enticing floral hints. The body is a bit on the lighter side, reminding us of the fluffy texture vanilla bean brings to mind. Sweet apple and lush peaches are the highlights in the flavor, complemented by juicy fruit and sweet buttery caramel. The bitterness is minute, with delicate tannins and a little rose florality. Soft sweet fruit brings home the finish with perfume-like florals and a little nuttiness.

Brewing Evaluation
Brewing Details
In the mug the very first impressions come accross with a nutty brown sugar in the aroma. The body is on the lighter side of the spectrum- tea like and smooth. The acidity is soft and mellow citrus and berry, fitting nicely with a gingerbread sweetness with a decadent milky caramel. More complex than it is bitter, we find florals and spices reminding us of that bergamot flavor in a nice earl grey tea. The finish is clean and delicate with more of that gingerbread and caramel, keeping you coming back for more. This coffee in three words: Citrus - Mellow - Clean
