Cupping Notes

On the dry aroma, expect bold bursts of tropical fruit and delicate florals, underscored by a sweet, heavy fragrance with subtle hints of lavender. Once wet, the cup transforms into a creamy experience, reminiscent of mango yogurt, with layers of tropical juice notes coming through. The flavor profile is vibrant and lively, with a medley of tropical, citrus, and stone-fruit notes. Its bright, clean acidity provides a refreshing balance to the rich, velvety texture. This coffee is both complex and juicy, standing out on the cupping table with its depth and commanding presence.
