Peru Aromas del Valle Merly Leon G1 Washed Organic
CUP PROFILE: 🥤 Citrus Soda (7-Up) •🌼 Vanilla wafer •🍑 White Peach
Cup Profile
This coffee opens with a Citrus 7-Up sweetness that immediately gives the cup a dessert-like softness—think white frosting and sugar. The first sip is lively and expressive, driven by a citrus-soda sparkle that lifts the cup with a clean, refreshing acidity. We keep thinking of 7up.
As the coffee cools, that brightness folds into white peach and soft stone fruit, becoming more elegant and composed with floral and green-citrus accents that add complexity without cluttering the profile.
This is a high-clarity, high-sweetness coffee that feels playful up front and refined in the finish—sparkling, a bit creamy but never heavy.
