Tastes like: Watermelon, Candy Sweetness, Clean

Expect a beautifully balanced cup with bright, candy-like watermelon sweetness that remains elegant and refined, avoiding the overpowering intensity or ‘funk’ often associated with co-fermented coffees.

What impressed us most is how clean and seamlessly integrated the fruit character is. Rather than dominating the profile, the watermelon complements the coffee's natural sweetness, creating a cup that's crisp, refreshing, and remarkably easy to enjoy.
