Flavor notes: Black Grapes + Berries + Coconut Water
This coffee fills the room with fruitiness as its ground. There are very obvious notes of black grape and berry as we taste the coffee, with slight hints of jackfruit that provides the funkiness. The syrupy body and a sweet aftertaste instantly reminds you of coconut water as the coffee cools down. With bright acidity and sweetness, this washed coffee is an all-rounder.
