Flavor Profile

When roasted to City (225°C), the coffee possesses a robust body with crisp acidity and a profound taste. Its texture is delightfully smooth, complemented by zesty highlights that can be piercing, with undertones of tangerine and nutmeg. Following the initial tang, a chocolatey essence emerges, entwined with a sweet, chocolate spice (owing to the chocolate trees surrounding coffee), blending harmoniously in the mouth and leaving a lingering, sumptuous flavor. Lighten the roast to accentuate the brilliant citrus notes, or increase the heat to 230°C for an enhanced  citrus and nuts aroma in your cup. Anaerobic fermentation 72 to 120 hours in barrels made that taste really unique.
