THE TASTE EXPERIENCE

THE JAMAICA BLUE MOUNTAIN TASTE EXPERIENCE

A creamy and balanced cup of Coffee with gentle acidity and full rich taste. Notes of dark cocoa beans mixed with macadamia nuts. Chocolate Truffle in a cup.

I was astound by the level of complexity of this coffee. Shame there's so little of it.
