Aroma: 9
Acidity/Structure: 9

Blind assessment: Evaluated as espresso. Delicate, layered, richly complex. Chocolate fudge, narcissus, pink grapefruit, date, oak forest in aroma and small cup. Vibrant, silky-smooth mouthfeel; crisp, chocolaty finish with undertones of pink grapefruit. In cappuccino format, dark chocolate and narcissus notes vie for attention.
The bottom line: A remarkably composed honey-process espresso that balances chocolate richness, floral nuance and citrus sparkle with equal grace as a straight shot or in cappuccino format.

Acidity explanation:
When customers ask us to recommend beans, the number one question is about flavor, and the number two is “Is this acidic?”
First of all, the feeling of the acidity varies from person to person. Once I met two guests. A said he would like to drink acid coffee, while B said he would not drink acid coffee. So I made a Natural Yirgacheffe Blue Donkey for them. A said that it was too acidic, and B said that it was okay. It is clear that there are individual differences in the sensitivity of acidity.
Since there are individual differences, is there any criterion for reference?
We generally use several fruits to make the evaluation from the least acidic to the most acidic. From 1~5 is strawberry jam, grapes, apples, oranges, lemons. So that the scores of relative acidity can help the consumers with a reference in purchasing.

3. Unopened bag of coffee beans stored in cool, sun block condition and the expiration of the period of 12 months. Best if used in 30-60 days after opening.
