The aroma felt balanced. The chocolatey side and the floral side came through together. When I swirled the server, I could sniff the floral aroma more clearly.

I only brewed these hot. The cup started with acidity, then a kind of plum hit the palate. Later, the flavor turned drier—like raisin—and finished sweet, with a touch of dark chocolate. The contrast was interesting…

I didn’t try brewing these beans as an iced pour-over while I had them. If I get to have these beans again, that’s the first thing I’d try.
