Awesome—the first good decaf I've had in a long time
My first impression upon opening the package: banana :)
I could taste it even in the first brew, but after drinking it for a while, I have to admit the peach and oolong really come through
You can drink it like tea; it's refreshing and quenches your thirst
Sold out :( Otherwise, I would have bought more

Sweet and chocolatey
As someone who drinks only acidic espressos, I have to say that this is the most delicate, most delicious Brazilian coffee I’ve ever had
A lighter roast might put some people off

Incredible coffee! It would get 6/5 stars if not so pricey. But it is understood!

It produces a nice intense filter (V60)
INCREDIBLE espresso! It is roasted for filter but if you want a fruity and intense espresso try it!

Very floral taste
Despite its darker espresso roast, it is wonderfully acidic and fresh.

First time trying coffee from China, interesting
intense aroma when breaking the crust
The flavor profile of high-quality dark chocolate. If you've ever had bean-to-bar chocolate, this is exactly that fruity flavor profile. To me, it specifically reminds me of 100% chocolate from Madagascar. The currant and lemongrass notes can be detected once it cools down.
special aroma of the finished infusion - a certain animalistic scent, but not pronounced
Shortly after drinking, you can taste okra on your palate. It's not necessarily a negative thing, but it's something you don't expect.

very high quality
excellent taste
seriously, a lot of caffeine
Recipe
Preparation method: Classic ala Coffea Circulor, pour the same amount of water three times, always pour for the same amount of time, wait for the same amount of time. They recommend about 3 minutes. I prefer around 2 to 2:30 minutes.

The coffee has a fairly intense acidity at first, but this subsides after a moment and it starts to taste very good. As it cools, the taste becomes absolutely excellent. One of the best this year (but not the best). Very, very long aftertaste. You can taste the terroir of Yunnan in it. If you've ever had their regular red tea, you'll understand what I mean.

Lots of caffeine, it must be really close to the maximum that Arabica can have, maybe even over. Coffee (g): 10g Water (g): 150g Water temperature: 93°C
Grinder (settings): Fellow Ode level 7, old SSP "multipurpose," set to the lowest level, it's quite a coarse grind. Process: 50g, stir vigorously to mix, wait 40-60 seconds, then repeat twice.
