 Clean aroma. Bright acidity.  Citrus with milk chocolate with a hint of cherry.

Roaster's notes

This is a smaller bean and will absorb heat quickly. We aim to get moderate heat into the bean before dry end and progress towards first crack at around 9 minutes.  We use a shorter development time (20%) and drop the beans before 11 minutes.

This profile accentuates the acidity in the cup as we feel this is the better aspect of this particular bean.
