Blind Assessment
Very sweet-toned coffee: roasted cashew, brown sugar, roses, a hint of pear-like fruit. Delicate, crisp acidity; very silky mouthfeel. Flavor tends to fade in a sweet, resonant, though simple finish.

Who Should Drink It
Natural sweetness and an exquisitely delicate acidity make this coffee particularly appealing black; even habitual milk pourers should keep their hands off the white stuff with this graceful, crisp cup. Drink it hot; flavor tends to tail off as it cools.
