NICARAGUA | Sergio Noe Ortez
■ FLAVOR COMMENT
Its delicate flavor profile offers notes of green apple, pear, and Japanese citrus like kumquat, possessing an elegant, floral quality reminiscent of jasmine green tea with a distinct Japanese nuance. It carries a soft, stone-fruit fruitiness like white peach and apricot, leading into a pleasant finish with a gentle sweetness similar to walnuts and brown sugar.
Please enjoy its smooth texture and the calm, serene flavor of this coffee.
