  The aroma was amazingly floral and fragrant. Rosewater notes came through big time. Possibly some lavender too. Jasmine was also quite apparent. As the coffee cooled, a sugary, stone fruit-like sweetness emerged. Later, the rose notes mellowed and the jasmine really intensified. Bergamot was also apparent. The flavor profile was super floral and bright too but not quite to the degree of the nose. Elegant florals came through strong up front. Like in the nose, rosewater was again most prominent initially. Lots of fruity sweetness too. Lavender was noticeable as well. Hint of jasmine as well. Big tart lemony notes appeared in the center and intensified as the liquid moved along the palate. The finish was slightly drying and tannic and reminiscent of lemon tea. As the coffee cooled, the jasmine presence intensified and the tannins in the finish mellowed. The lemon also became even more pronounced. All in all, outstanding sweetness in both the aroma and the flavor. Medium-high acidity in the aroma and exceptionally high acidity in the flavor. Excellent soft, juicy, medium-light bodied mouthfeel. H&S noted in the description of the coffee that it was likely their most floral offering to date, and I would definitely agree with this sentiment. Personally, this could be my favorite coffee of the year.
