Ecuador Galo Morales Gesha Light Roasted

CUP PROFILE:  Mango, Honeysuckle, Powdered Sugar, Yellow lifesavers

The wet aroma carries a delicate complexity, with honeysuckle, jasmine, and powdered sugar teasing the senses. As it brews, the first sip we get a creamy, elegant sweetness reminiscent of yellow Life Savers, with hints of white frosting, stone fruit, and pineapple weaving through.

As the cup cools, its personality deepens. Juicy, floral, and fruit-forward, layers of  mango, and orange  with a gentle touch of graham and cinnamon adding warmth. A whisper of tropical brightness lingers in every sip, finishing with a light dusting of powdered sugar.

This is a coffee to savor, one that rewards slow mornings and thoughtful moments with its refined complexity and lush, honeyed sweetness.
