This new arrival is bright, crisp, and lively with a velvety mouth-feel and subtle, slowly-evolving flavor complexity. The cup is well-rounded with a fresh lemon start with hints of milk chocolate in the body and cocoa features that linger through the finish. Sophisticated nuances and honey-like aromas make this well-balanced, smooth coffee an ideal varietal for the coffee connoisseur and the uninitiated alike.
