Product Characteristics

When light-roasted, the melon and fruit aromas are very prominent, with high sweetness, heavy body, and exceptionally full, complex flavors.

The beans are dropped before the end of the first crack to preserve the unique fruit flavors characteristic of natural processing. Going past the first crack will lean toward traditional Mandheling flavor profiles.

This is a natural processed bean, so the temperature rise during the first crack happens quickly. Therefore, it's essential to reduce the heat in advance to prevent progressing directly to the second crack after completing the first crack.

Pour-over, American coffee machine, siphon, French press, various drip brewing devices, cold drip

If the brewed coffee is too strong in flavor, you can adjust it with hot water. Avoid extracting too much coffee liquid at once, as this will filter out undesirable flavors and unpleasant compounds in the later stages. If you prefer a stronger taste, you can increase the amount of coffee grounds for adjustment.
