Tastes like

Heavy cream

Typical intensity 3.5/10

Soft, smooth dairy richness that rounds out the cup's texture as much as its flavour.

Cream is really a texture wearing a flavour's name: a plush, rounded smoothness across the tongue, the cup equivalent of full-fat dairy. Low-acid coffees with substantial body are where it shows, since brightness tends to cut straight through the effect. Espresso drinkers prize it for obvious reasons — a naturally creamy shot needs nothing added — though it makes black filter coffee quietly luxurious too.

Flavor composition: moderate sweet (honey, cream); moderate fruity (citrus, blueberry); subtle floral (floral).
