Tasting Notes

A delicate, elegant cup with high fragrance and soft sweetness. In the cup, jasmine pearl tea and stargazer lily florals lead the way, layered with flavors of rose hard candy and pink bubblegum. Bright notes of satsuma orange and limeade bring juicy acidity, while the finish is clean and lightly tannic, reminiscent of black tea. The sweetness leans toward white honey and nectarine, balanced by a soft, silky body.

Roaster's Perspective

This roast is all about showcasing nuance and clarity. The light profile lifts the coffee's natural floral and citrus aromatics to the surface without overshadowing them. You'll taste both perfume and precision—sweet, buoyant notes that bloom immediately on the nose and carry through the finish. It’s a refined cup, best suited for those who enjoy complex, elegant coffees with high aromatic payoff.

We roasted this coffee with a gentle heat curve and a short development time to preserve its delicate structure. Even minor changes in grind or brew method can highlight different aspects—from bright citrus to floral candy to lingering tea notes. This is a coffee for slow mornings, for sipping and noticing.
