Rose's Lime Juice

Typical intensity 5.5/10

Lean, green citrus zing with a faintly bitter edge — brightness at its most austere.

Lime brings a green, austere zing: citrus stripped of plumpness, with a whisper of bitterness at the margins. It surfaces in washed, high-grown coffees whose processing preserves the brightest acids, usually as an accent within the citrus spectrum rather than the headline. There's a particular pleasure in its restraint — a cold, clean sharpness for palates that find sweeter citrus a touch obvious.
