INTRO
This Colombia from The Naughty Dog roastery is sweet, juicy, and distinctive from the very first sip. The flavour is based on a combination of ripe plums and orange candies, which give the coffee a clear fruity line and a pleasantly higher acidity. It is lively but beautifully rounded, so it does not seem sharp or disturbing. Gradually, subtle spices, vanilla, and the rich sweetness of chocolate fondant are added, grounding the flavour and giving it depth.
