☕ Flavor Analysis | Is this the right fit for you?

• Want citrus but not too sour: Offers a brightened sensation, but the overall profile is gentler and highly drinkable.
• Need mouthfeel and body: The Brazilian beans supply the nuts, cocoa, and roundness, ensuring it isn't just left with fruity notes.
• Sweet and balanced orientation: Perfect for daily drinking, and pairs excellently with dark chocolate and nutty desserts.

📊 Flavor Highlights (Sensory Evaluation)

Overall style: The main theme is orange peel and citrus, finishing with nutty cocoa and mild sweetness; the drinking experience is smooth and not sharp.

Flavor Progression (Front / Middle / Finish)

• Front (Head): Orange peel and citrus tones appear first, bringing mild fruity acidity and a refreshing aroma.
• Middle (Body): Nutty sweetness and a rounded mouthfeel gradually take over; body increases, making the drinking experience more stable.
• Finish (Finish): Cocoa notes and a mildly sweet finish, accompanied by a faint impression of citrus peel sweetness; clean finish.

💧 Brewing Guide

This blend is suited for two adjustment routes: "clean and bright" or "sweet and thick." If you want it more like citrus fruit tea, use a cleaner extraction; if you want it sweeter and more cocoa-forward, increase the concentration and extraction completeness so the Brazilian beans' nutty cocoa base becomes more prominent.

• Suggested Temperature: 90°C–92°C (Try 89°C–90°C for a gentler cup).
• Brew Ratio: 1:15–1:16 (e.g., 15g coffee to 225g–240g water).
• Suggested Grind: Medium-fine (similar to the coarseness of granulated sugar).
• Suggested Pairings: Excellent for drinking straight; also pairs well with dark chocolate and nutty desserts.

Quick Adjustment Tips:

• For more prominent citrus brightness: 90–92°C, 1:16 ratio, slightly faster pouring rhythm → Aroma becomes more refreshing, orange peel lines become clearer.
• To avoid overly prominent acidity: Avoid excessively high water temperatures and overly fast extraction → Let sweetness and body dominate.

Brewing Tip: To achieve that "orange peel + cocoa" balance, the key is not to brew it too weak. With sufficient concentration, the nutty cocoa base will mellow out the citrus acidity, making it highly drinkable.

Supplementary Note

The flavor descriptions on this page are subjective sensory experiences intended to help understand the flavor direction; actual performance may vary based on brewing method, grind size, water temperature, extraction concentration, water quality, and bean age. If you prefer more prominent citrus notes, you can adopt a cleaner brewing setup; if you want to highlight the sweet mellowness and cocoa finish, it is recommended to increase the concentration to present the nuts and sweetness more fully.
