Our French sensory collective comments
The jury's evaluation of Harmonelle reveals a coffee blend that falls short of its promised symphony of flavors. With a light body, simple taste profile, and forgettable aftertaste, it lacks the depth and complexity expected of an espresso blend, making it less likely to appeal to discerning coffee enthusiasts.

Our F.L.A.V.O.R results
FORM
The visual appeal of Harmonelle is somewhat compromised by its light brown hue, a characteristic often seen in lightly roasted coffee. The omission of origin details on the packaging is a missed opportunity to engage the discerning coffee connoisseur.
74/100
LINGER
The Harmonelle's aftertaste is fleeting, fading almost immediately. It lacks not only in terms of longevity but also in creating a memorable impression. This characteristic significantly diminishes the overall tasting experience.
40/100
AROMA
While Harmonelle promises a symphony of floral and nutty notes, the actual aromatic profile leans more towards the herbal and earthy spectrum. Despite its moderate intensity, the aroma seems underwhelming, a tad flat, lacking the invigorating allure one would expect from an espresso blend.
62/100
VITALITY
On the palate, Harmonelle's sweetness is natural, its acidity mellow. However, it lacks depth and complexity, offering a simple flavor profile that is unbalanced and mild. The lack of notable aspects and the dominance of one or few flavors make the tasting experience rather flat and uninspiring.
41/100
OVERALL TEXTURE
The texture of this espresso blend is a low point. Its body is very light, almost watery, lacking the robustness associated with espresso. The mouthfeel echoes the same lightness, too airy and delicate for a coffee blend that should ideally offer a rich, full-bodied experience.
80/100
REFINEMENT
In sum, Harmonelle seems to fall short of its harmonic balance promise. Its light body, simple taste profile, and forgettable aftertaste don't align with the expectations of an espresso blend. While its natural sweetness and mellow acidity are appreciable, the absence of complexity, depth, and distinctive varietal traits make it unlikely to be sought after by seasoned coffee lovers. The lack of origin details on the packaging further detracts from its appeal.
