Tastes like

Red Delicious apple

Typical intensity 6/10

Crisp, mildly sweet orchard fruit with a clean, juicy finish.

Red apple keeps things simple: clean orchard fruit, mildly sweet and juicy, with no real tartness to negotiate. Washed Colombian lots and other mild, carefully processed Central and South American coffees show it best, their balance letting plain-spoken fruit through. It asks nothing of the drinker — which, some days, is exactly the point.
