Acidity ____ ⚅__________⚅

Sweetness ⚅__________⚃

There is a natural, sweet note of stone fruits, particularly yellow peaches, found in the body.

Although, this may have compacted the intense acidity and tasting notes of the coffee.

Finish_____ ⚃__________⚄

Finish builds upon the lasting notes of the sweetness. It is punctuated by a kick of orange, before an aftertaste of strongly brewed tea with dry floral or fruity aromas emerge.
