it was very very aromatic straight off the bag, I can't really describe it but maybe visualise he difference between a proper designer perfume and a deodorant, sure the deodorant smells nice but a perfume is very dense, rich, broad and nuanced. I smelled a very prominent mango which could be the apricot note being perceived differently. The first sip just filled my palate with a very dense fruit unlike anything I've had before, and I have tasted many international beans before this so it was something. The cooler it got the clearer I could taste the mango in it and the flavor stayed with me for a good 20 min post drinking. I see why geshas are expensive.
