REFINEMENT
Overall, the Colombia Felice Medellin is a distinctive offering from EBENICA COFFEE s.r.o., with a complex flavor profile and a memorable, robust aroma. However, the varietal accuracy could use some refinement and the lack of repeat appeal suggests some areas for improvement. The product carries some of its varietal character, but does not fully deliver on the promised notes of hazelnut and milk chocolate. Despite these shortcomings, it does present an interesting experience for the adventurous coffee lover.
