This coffee starts off with a grounded, earthy vibe that tastes a lot like cacao nibs—deep and chocolatey without being sweet. As you keep sipping, a really clear toasted nuttiness comes through, similar to hojicha, giving the cup a warm, cozy feel. Toward the finish, there’s a light touch of strawberry hanging out in the background, adding a gentle sweetness and a soft pop of acidityAcidityThe bright, lively, fruit-like sensation in coffee — praise, not a flaw. Citric sparkle, malic apple-crispness, tartaric wine notes; light roasts preserve more of it. that keeps everything balanced. It’s an easygoing, comforting cup with just enough complexity to stay interesting. -Jonathan
