Review:
This is yet another brilliant coffee from Subko. The roaster mentions notes of Maple Syrup, Candied Pecans and Apricot. The tasting notes are quite easy to extract in the cup while parallels can be drawn to nuts and stone-fruit instead of the mentioned notes. It has a sweet balance and is medium bodied. The cup starts with a note fruity note of apricots and peaches, with a sweet balance running through the middle and finally ending with a almond-like finish. This is one coffee which is quite complex but easy to extract. Loved brewing every single cup.
