Tastes like

Fresh tangerine

Typical intensity 5.5/10

Sweet, perfumed citrus — all fragrance and juice, none of the sting.

Tangerine is the gentlest way to drink citrus: honeyed, fragrant, more about perfume and juice than acid attack. East African washed coffees — Ethiopia and Kenya chief among them — grow the kind of clean citric sweetness that reads this way in the cup. The result is an uncommonly friendly bright coffee: enough lift to feel alive, nothing sharp enough to wince at.
