Descriptions:
This coffee truly delivers and delights. The fragrance was sweet of strawberry pop tarts and Fig Newtons and nostalgic Christmas sugar cookies. This coffee is bright with the flavor of a tart lemon torte leaving you with a crisp refreshing taste.

Flavors or berries and cream permeate; the dulled brightness and medium body work well in this cup, serving as a warming agent, thus making it approachable. A nutty, semi-bitter aftertaste brings this cup to buoyancy.

Very sweet exciting coffee, chocolate bread, blueberry muffin and candy of all present,  smells of sugary cereal in milk, with hight brightness and a tea like body. YES to this guy.

I love you. Bright acidity and a shower of fruit. Long tart finish highlights of Meyer lemon and grapes; also suggests lavender.

Very sweet smelling, this surprisingly grainy coffee is of fair quality.. not for fancy guests, but certainly something to have and not be ashamed of.

Sweet aroma and taste. Very tangy. Has an acidic taste all the way through to the aftertaste. Really enjoyed the aroma though.
