 Tasted by [@rbrigleb](https://unpacking.coffee/users/rbrigleb) 1 month ago

Flavors Observed

 [ apricot ](https://unpacking.coffee/flavors/4 "Apricot is a bright, sweet, and fruity flavor that can be a delightful addition to specialty coffee. It often evokes the warm, sun-kissed hues of the apricot fruit and can add a subtle, yet distinctive, layer of complexity to the coffee's aroma and taste.") 

 [ blackberry jam ](https://unpacking.coffee/flavors/216 "A deep, rich purple-magenta that evokes the dark, jewel-toned hue of ripe blackberries and the concentrated sweetness of blackberry jam.") 

 [ blackberry ](https://unpacking.coffee/flavors/9 "Blackberry is a vibrant, deep purple color that evokes the rich, fruity notes of this coffee flavor. The tart and slightly sweet taste of blackberries can often be found in specialty coffee blends, adding complexity and depth to the overall flavor profile.") 

 [ panela ](https://unpacking.coffee/flavors/217 "A warm, golden amber-brown that mirrors the physical appearance of panela — the tan-to-amber hue of unrefined sugarcane blocks, evoking caramel depth and natural, earthy sweetness.") 

 [ black cherry ](https://unpacking.coffee/flavors/176 "This deep burgundy-red hex code (#8B1538) represents black cherry because it captures the dark, rich pigmentation of ripe black cherries while maintaining the slight purple undertone that reflects the fruit's complexity and the wine-like qualities often associated with this flavor in coffee tasting.") 

Tasting Notes

OK, I know this was only roasted two days ago, and I probably should have waited… but it’s pretty good already!
