 This is a bright, fruit-forward coffee. Tried through a Fellow Drop. The packaging is stunning (although I tend to enjoy a bit less pieces).

 [ 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.") [ black tea ](https://unpacking.coffee/flavors/65 "Black tea flavor in specialty coffee is often described as having a rich, earthy, and slightly smoky profile. This flavor is commonly found in coffees from East African origins, such as Ethiopia and Kenya, where the coffee cherries are dried with the skin still intact, imparting the tea-like qualities. The flavor can also be brought out through extended roasting profiles.") [ watermelon ](https://unpacking.coffee/flavors/111 "The bright, vibrant red-orange hex code #FF6347 was chosen to represent the watermelon flavor as it closely matches the color of a ripe, juicy watermelon.") [ lemon ](https://unpacking.coffee/flavors/18 "Lemon is a bright, citrusy flavor that can add a refreshing, tangy note to specialty coffee. The vibrant yellow color suggests the zesty, tart qualities that this flavor can bring to the coffee-drinking experience.")
