The coffee is excellent. Some of those familiar toffee and baked fruit notes on the aroma, raisin and brown sugar sweet, excellent juicy acidity and very good balance and body. Maybe green tea, not sure I drink enough of it to draw on it as a sensory memory.Cupping Method:Follow @the_qreview on Instagram for photos and the full post.
