Or Rose by L’Or Espresso
Or Rose by L’Or Espresso makes coffee with a mild and balanced aroma and a bit sharper taste. On the nose, Or Rose is floral, sweet and slightly bitter. On the palate, intense bitterness is mellowed by red apple acidity and creamy sweetness.
Aroma
Or Rose offers a mild, balanced aroma with subtle floral notes, the heavier sweetness of cascara (coffee cherry flesh), touch of amaretto and a hint of dark-roast bitterness.
Taste
In contrast, the taste is intense, revealing the dark roasting from the onset. The start is starkly bitter and followed by the acidity of red apples and creamy sweetness. The aftertaste is long and brings bitter-sweet burnt toffee.
Extraction
The extraction is steady and flawless, resulting in a good amount of crema.
