Fasan Tasting Note
It is a vibrant and complex coffee, renowned for its pronounced acidity and rich flavor profile. It opens with a bold blackcurrant note, complemented by an unusual yet intriguing hint of tomato. As the cup progresses, layers of caramel and plum emerge, adding a subtle sweetness that balances the acidity. The finish is adorned with a medley of mixed berries, enhancing the overall depth.
This coffee has a moderate smoothness and a lingering aftertaste that evolves from a berry-like tartness to a gentler sweetness as it cools, making each sip a dynamic and engaging experience.
