## What the Brand Says

> This coffee is boasting with good times and 5 Alive Vibes! If you are someone who enjoys coffees that have high acidity and bright citrus notes, this coffee is for you! Think sweet lime, lemon tea, grapefruit rind, stone fruits (plum, apricot) and an irresistible caramel-like sweetness. This coffee shines as a pour over and likes to lean towards a coarser grind size.
