Final Impression
Summary:
A standard-quality fermented coffee, with some beans slightly more roasted, but overall without major defects. The fragrance of the whole beans and the ground coffee is delightful. The cup is clean and pleasant, with apple notes standing out — never excessive, always interesting. The woody aftertaste could perhaps be avoided with a more uniform roast.
