 FLAVOUR

 Wilbert Phillips-Mora et al., 2013
Roast: 149 °C for 13 mins
Flavour: Mild acidity early on that gives way to definite browned, dried fruit, leathery, dark raisin-like notes. Clean flavor. Has low astringency and only mild bitterness. Some chocolate flavor, but is mild. Very interesting flavor profile. Based on the end taste, the end bitterness is coming from the roast rather than from the beans.
