Peru Antony Vasquez Washed CUP PROFILE: Orange Tootsie Pop • Creamy Caramel • Milk Chocolate This coffee opens with a sweet milk chocolate foundation that feels rich and familiar from the first sip. As it develops, creamy caramel notes add depth and roundness, giving the cup a smooth, comforting structure. On the finish, a lift of bright orange citrus brings balance and clarity, showing up as a soft, candy-like orange sweetness rather than sharp acidity. The result is a cup that is chocolate-forward and approachable, with a subtle citrus sparkle that keeps it lively from hot to cool.
