With the black coffee, I pick up a classic coffee flavor up front followed by pronounced lemon-like acidity in the aftertaste. There are also notes of apple-like sweetness that balance out the acidity somewhat.When tasted with added cream and sugar, the coffee takes on a more mellowed, approachable profile that I think most coffee drinkers would enjoy.
