This is a full body coffee that is rich and creamy with a velvety syrupy feel lingering in the front

This is a medium acidity coffee that is sweet with a loquat like acidity that is mild and juicy that lingerings then dissipates leaving a dry floral finish  

The flavors of this coffee are of grilled blood orange, prune, black radish, muted ground cinnamon, roasted coconut husk, malt, bakers cocoa, Italian oregano, macadamia nut paste, sweet paprika, black salt, cedar, rooibos tea, wheat, and licorice root

As it cools a creamy and slight sharp texture develops with a big whipped cream flavor along with white corn, cherimoya, and grilled Eureka lemon skin

The body is weak with a tea like consistency that is silky and juicy
