Coffee Description
You might just fall in love with this sweet, dynamic coffee: stone fruit and berry notes up front are quickly rounded by a softly tart lemon meringue. Well-structured, with a lighter body and juicy mouthfeel, notes of apricot preserves and almond carry into the finish, intensifying as it cools.
