 Tasted by [@rbrigleb](https://unpacking.coffee/users/rbrigleb) 2 months ago

Flavors Observed

 [ pink bubblegum ](https://unpacking.coffee/flavors/168 "Hot pink (#FF69B4) directly mirrors the vibrant, artificial pink color of classic bubble gum, making it the most intuitive visual representation of this candy-forward flavor profile.")

 [ confectionary ](https://unpacking.coffee/flavors/173 "This warm, medium brown hex color (#D4A574) represents confectionary flavors because it visually evokes caramel, toffee, and roasted sugar—the core confectionary notes found in specialty coffee.")

 [ sweet ](https://unpacking.coffee/flavors/171 "This warm, golden-brown tone represents the caramelized sweetness and rich sugar notes that define sweet coffee profiles, evoking the visual appearance of brown sugar and caramel that are often tasting descriptors in specialty coffee cuppings.")

 [ jammy ](https://unpacking.coffee/flavors/169 "This deep burgundy-purple represents the rich, concentrated sweetness and dark fruit characteristics of jammy flavors, evoking the color of berry preserves and fruit compotes that define this tasting profile.")

 [ powdered sugar ](https://unpacking.coffee/flavors/170 "This off-white, pale cream color directly mirrors the visual appearance of powdered sugar itself, evoking the delicate, refined sweetness and light, airy quality that characterizes this flavor profile in specialty coffee.")

Tasting Notes

Quite a treat to have this to enjoy on Valentine’s Day… although I didn’t realize when I was grinding it how fresh it was!
