I fell head over heals for this coffee last year and I am glad to see most of the same characteristics in this years crop. I do believe this year is a bit more fruit forward and a tiny bit sweeter. I do get the roasted brussel sprouts and asparagus and super savory notes this go round, but they are far more subtle.
