The documented profile
Attributed descriptors, not measured flavor intensities. See the sources below.
Flavor families classify the listed descriptors; they are not intensity or quality scores. Character bands below explain what is documented and what is still unknown.
Reading the cup
Coffee character.
The outlined band shows the reported or estimated level. These describe the cup; higher is not better.
Roast level
Reported- Light
- Medium-light
- Medium
- Medium-dark
- Dark
Placed at the roast band given by the source. This is a label, not an instrument-measured roast color. Source ↗
What does roast level mean?
The roast degree of the bean; separate from sweetness, body and quality.
Acidity
Estimated · low confidence- Gentle
- Moderate
- Bright
A moderate acidity band is our provisional starting guess from the roast and listed descriptors. The source does not establish this intensity. Reference for estimate ↗
What does acidity mean?
The perceived brightness or tartness of the cup, not a quality score.
Sweetness
Estimated · low confidence- Subtle
- Noticeable
- Pronounced
Without explicit sweet-associated descriptors, we provisionally expect subtler sweetness. Absence from the notes is weak evidence, so this estimate needs tasting. Reference for estimate ↗
What does sweetness mean?
How strong the sweet impression feels. Sweet-sounding notes can inform a guess, but do not measure its intensity.
Body / mouthfeel
Reported- Light
- Rounded
- Full
Rounded follows the roaster’s explicit texture description. It is source-reported mouthfeel, not our own tasting or a quality score. Source ↗
What does body / mouthfeel mean?
The perceived weight and texture of the coffee, separate from roast darkness.
Finish
Estimated · low confidence- Brief
- Sustained
- Lingering
A sustained finish is our low-confidence baseline in the absence of a duration description. The notes and processing do not establish how long the flavor lasts; tasting may move this band in either direction. Reference for estimate ↗
What does finish mean?
How long the flavors remain after a sip, rather than how good they are.
Coarse descriptive bands, not laboratory measurements or cupping category scores. Brewing changes the cup. Missing descriptions receive low-confidence editorial guesses, which can change after tasting.
Our take
Mango and mandarin make the fruit-led placement easy to understand. The roaster also uses coconut as a texture reference, which is a reason to compare this offering with lighter-feeling washed coffees rather than treating all fruit-led coffees as interchangeable.
Who it suits
Explore it if tropical-fruit references interest you. The profile and total come from the roaster, and neither guarantees the result of a particular brew.
Behind the coffee
The source identifies Kayon Mountain in Guji, heirloom material, natural processing and a light roast. Its stated growing elevation is 1,900–2,200 m. We keep the range in the review and leave the single-value altitude field unset.
What the number means
The listed 86/100 is a roaster-reported cupping total. No dated category sheet was located. We have not tasted this offering and do not manufacture a score breakdown.
