Ripe apples stand out in the aroma, it is uniform and consistent

Acidity ____ ⚄__________⚄

Shades of malic and citric acidity lies within this cup.

The combination of the two work very well

Sweetness ⚃__________⚃

Hints of apples lie in the acidity that is brought forward to the sweetness.

It contains hints of a simple syrup sweetness, further lending to the apple lemonade analogy.

Body _____ ⚄__________⚅

A praline, Nutella-like body follows the sweetness.

It is smooth, luxurious and by far the most distinguishing aspect of this coffee.

Finish_____ ⚄__________⚃

The drink finishes with hints of apple skin and nuttiness that lingers on the tongue, with a hint of the coffee roastiness.

Notes

A hidden gem that was found in the midst of wandering the city of Kyoto, the coffees from Loose Kyoto are roasted with a Loring.

It is perhaps this aspect that gives rise to a smooth, clean nutty body that persists throughout the entire experience. This coffee brings very distinct vibes of the smooth, rich hazelnut Nutella spread, combined with a simple and sweet apple lemonade acidity and sweetness that makes for a unique washed Gesha experience - in some ways, one might think of this to be richer and more decadent than expected, but excellent nonetheless.
