Aroma

Earthy and floral:  Aroma refers to the smell of the coffee. It is responsible for many of the flavors perceived by the tongue.

Flavor

Dark cocoa, orange rind.

Body

Smooth: This describes the physical property- heaviness or mouthfeel- of  the coffee coating the tongue.

Acidity

Low acidity.  Without acidity, a coffee will tend to taste dull and lifeless.  A good acidity will lean towards being  sweet, crisp and tart - each enhancing the other qualities in the coffee.

Packaging

Remember it's the one in light blue bag. Packaged in a foil bag with a one way valve engineered to release gases and prevent air from entering the bag which ensures freshness and optimal flavor.  The bag which includes a resealable tape is ideal for storing beans in the original packaging helping the beans stay fresh after opening.  Beans will remain fresh in this bag for 3 to 4 weeks after opening. 

Storage: Never store beans in a freezer because the moisture will adversely affect the taste and the moisture can clog your grinder. Beans will also absorb the flavors of nearby foods.
