Delicately complex aroma of flowers, tangerine and honey. In the cup, smooth mouthfeel, balanced, richly floral-toned acidity, and elegant notes of orange, lemon and yes, more flowers. Finishes cleanly with the flavor nuances lingering softly.

Balanced aroma with soft notes of pipe tobacco, vanilla, sweet aromatic wood and suggestions of fruit. The fruit becomes more pronounced in the bright-toned acidity. A graceful cup, with a lightly syrupy mouthfeel and flavors of orange, grapefruit, fir, and a touch of chocolate that sweetens in the finish.
Intense, sweet-toned aroma: cherryish fruit, hints of orange and flowers. In the cup rich, rounded acidity, fullish body, and continued cherry- and orange-toned fruit complicated by a dry, cocoaish chocolate. Simple, sweet finish.
Rich, deep, balanced coffee with tight-knit complexity in aroma and cup: night flowers, orange, berry, raisin. Delicately bright acidity, medium body, simple but cleanly rich finish.
Gently sweet aroma with hints of wood and molasses. Delicate but well-balanced in the cup, with medium body, soft mouthfeel, and flavor notes of aromatic wood, fruit-toned chocolate, and a citrusy quality reminiscent of sweet lemony tea. Some sweetness persists in the finish, though it fades rather quickly.
A richly balanced cup with a pungent aroma of cocoa, baking spices and orange. The orange character carries from aroma into flavor, where it is complicated by hints of flowers and flowering grasses. Mild sweetness and a touch of chocolate in the finish.

In the aroma an intense wood smoke character with hints of cedar and a vague fruitiness. Soft and simple in the cup with sweet notes of charred wood, leather and a hint of earth. The finish is round and dry; a slight astringency diminishes and allows sweetness to prevail in the long.
