In my opinion, this is one of the best selections. According to CS, however, we are already well into the competition samples. A distinctive and juicy body throughout the entire cup. In my opinion, it tastes best somewhere "in the middle." The fruity tropical explosion is sure to appeal to you.

delicate taste of raisins and lavender
Finally, among all the coffees with fruity notes, one that not only smells but also tastes like fruit :)

When I bought it last time, it was the best coffee for me.
The taste is completely different from what I drank last time! Now the coffee is downright bad.

pleasant aroma
Every grain is "original," from light to burnt (I have photos).
And when I read the reviews here, I feel like I'm drinking something completely different from Costa Rica CATAJO - cupping score 91.25.
I guess I needed to remind myself again not to buy overpriced coffee from Slovak roasters.

Every sip of this delicious drink made my knees weak. This coffee must have been created by the coffee gods themselves, otherwise I cannot explain its taste.

Beautifully harmonious
It flows much faster than other coffees, so you need to take longer breaks between each pour.

Melon can be
91, someone missed by 5 points
Inconsistent
I can easily extract alcohol from it (pre-extracted), and if I avoid it, I extract vegetables (post-extracted).
Difficult to prepare, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't
It needs low extraction and low temperature to fit the profile.

Last year was even better, but it's still a pleasantly fragrant fruit coffee.

Deeply fruity without being overly sweet
Robust and hearty rather than light and delicate
Tastes of ripe plums, lavender, dark berries
Best without milk
This is a serious coffee to be savoured like a fine wine
Quite expensive, so drink slowly :D

Full flavor with pleasant sweetness and fruitiness
The taste is not overpowering, so you can drink it for a long time and it doesn't get boring as quickly as some fermented coffees.
It is really easy to make a mistake when using the wrong temperature, which leads to unpleasant bitterness.
Recipe
Preparation method: V60 Coffee (g): 18 Water (g): 300 Water temperature: < 92°
Grinder (setting): Kingrinder K6 ~ 100 – 120 clicks Process: The key factor is a lower water temperature, around 91°, because higher temperatures make the coffee bitter. I have tested several recipes and cannot remember it ever tasting bad.

Mega-superlative ultra-hype
Expected extraterrestrial bliss
A shocking sobering up and a lesson in futility
I will never forget her.
An error has occurred somewhere
We tried every possible preparation method, and the contents of the bag are completely resistant to them. The result is more or less the same shocking, bitter disappointment, bordering on undrinkable.

Not all that glitters is gold
Thank you, I highly recommend it, buy it where it comes from.
