About the chart
Personal impressions over multiple espresso sessions, lactose-free milk. Notably: roaster profiles Cherry Jam/Chocolate/Almond but personal experience leans more apple, citrus, and floral — lighter and brighter than the profile suggests.
Producer notes
Half-decaf blend combining AA+ beans from Kirinyaga, Kenya with Swiss Water Process decaffeinated beans from Colombia. SAAZAA sources directly from farms and roasts in-house at Ringwood. The Swiss Water Process is chemical-free. Nicknamed “The Pink” — espresso + decaf.
