As the season is slowly changing, I wanted to smoothen the weather transition with an excellently produced Fall coffee with orange and sugary colors. This coffee is the perfect example of a flavor profile highlighting a fresh, bright side with mandarin and star fruit tones as well as a rounder and sweet aspect with panela notes.
