_________Intensity____Quality

Aroma_____ ⚄__________⚄

Fragrant, with juicy limes, and an unmistakable lavender floral fragrance at the onset.

Acidity ____ ⚅__________⚅

A tangy sour of passionfruit, this acidity manages to be both bright while at the same time tactile, reminiscent of biting into passionfruit seeds.

Sweetness ⚄__________⚅

Kiwi-like sweetness - juicy, and at times, fuzzy, from the presence of oxalates;

this nuanced sweetness evolves alongside the acidity into a richer taste of blackcurrants.

Body _____ ⚃__________⚅

The coffee has a medium body, that gives a full and ripe profile to the currant sweetness.

It is generally syrupy in mouthfeel, and carries a complex, unfolding profile well.

Finish_____ ⚅__________⚅

Lingering finish of blackcurrants on the palate. It is a well balanced between ambling tartness of key limes and sweetness, and leaves a powdery sweet floral bouquet on nose.

Notes

I find that coffees whose quality successfully convey from seed to cup exhibit an astonishingly well balanced profile - simply put, multifaceted, and exquisitely smooth.

The Potosi coffee experience is a lime and currant-packed flavor profile.

Bright and tart, and a mellifluent ripe sweetness all in a well-packed body.
