Final Impression
Summary:
Extremely sweet coffee, pleasant from grinding to the last sip. Roasting profiles are more consistent than the market standard, mostly ranging between light-medium and medium, with some beans reaching a darker stage. The cup is delightful, goes down smoothly, and the acidity strongly stimulates the taste buds. Bitterness is low, and the aftertaste is light with a subtle presence of woody light cacao.
