this coffee offers jasmine florals alongside both milk chocolate and dark chocolate. the natural process contributes the sweetness and depth that tie those notes together.

filter or pour-over methods work well here, giving clarity to the jasmine florals and letting the chocolate notes develop without muddiness. keep water temperature around 90 to 93 degrees celsius and avoid over-extraction, which can push the darker chocolate toward bitterness.
