Tastes like

Granny Smith apple

Typical intensity 5/10

Crisp, tart orchard fruit with a mouth-watering, malic snap.

Bite into a Granny Smith and register that instant tart crunch — malic acid at work, and the same brightness that drives this note in coffee. Washed lots from Kenya and from cooler, high-grown Central American farms deliver it most convincingly, their pronounced acidity reading as crisp rather than sour. The effect in the cup is kinetic — vivid, juicy, palate-sharpening — the opposite of a mellow evening coffee.
