The flavor profile features nutty and chocolate notes with a prune-like finish, complemented by floral qualities and a hint of bitterness reminiscent of pomelo fruit. The coffee is described as remarkably clean with bright, citric characteristics typical of the region's specialty natural-processed coffees.
