The fragrance is intense—rustic sweetness and sticky dried fruit, with winey fermented accents. The wet aroma shows molasses, palm sugar, fermented strawberry, and pomegranate juice. This is a \u003cem\u003ebig\u003c\/em\u003e coffee in overall intensity and body— like a fruity dessert wine with curious, edgy yet syrupy flavors.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-1 mt-2 whitespace-pre-line leading-relaxed first:mt-0\" data-sentry-component=\"P\" data-sentry-source-file=\"p.tsx\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-1 mt-2 whitespace-pre-line leading-relaxed first:mt-0\" data-sentry-component=\"P\" data-sentry-source-file=\"p.tsx\"\u003eThe fruit carries a fermented edge: berry kefir, tropical kombucha, and overripe orange. Expect dark cocoa and rich bean-to-bar chocolate, accented by plum and a hint of unfiltered sake as it cools. There’s also a dark malt\/yeast aromatic that recalls chocolate stout. Zambian coffees are rare for us—and finding one as an anaerobic natural made this lot an easy yes.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-1 mt-2 whitespace-pre-line leading-relaxed first:mt-0\" data-sentry-component=\"P\" data-sentry-source-file=\"p.tsx\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin \u0026amp; Process Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"mb-1 mt-2 whitespace-pre-line leading-relaxed first:mt-0\" data-sentry-component=\"P\" data-sentry-source-file=\"p.tsx\"\u003eZambia isn’t a producing origin we see often.
