I’ve been dialing this in as my morning shot for two weeks now, and the crisp pear note really pops the moment it hits the crema. The slow natural drying seems to give it a sweetness that lingers without ever turning syrupy—mango’s more of a backdrop, but it’s a lovely one.

The slow natural drying really brings out the mango sweetness, and it pulls a thick, syrupy shot that balances the pear crispness perfectly. I've been dialing in lighter roasts for months, but this one needed almost no fiddling to taste incredible.
