IN THE CUP
From the first sip, this lot reveals a comforting sweetness of Medjool dates, layered with warming clove spice and smooth milk chocolate. A juicy, vibrant acidity brings freshness and clarity, creating a beautifully balanced cup with a lingering sweetness.
As a filter, the coffee is juicy and expressive, highlighting the rich date sweetness with delicate clove spice and hints of milk chocolate. Brewed as an espresso, it becomes rich and syrupy, revealing greater depth and complexity as the Medjool date sweetness, warming spice and chocolate notes come together in a full-bodied, lingering finish.
