The red wine-like taste is the main feature of the beans. The beans produced by the manor owner with all-red fruit late picking and cold water soaking are contrary to the world's sense of sniffing at low-altitude beans. As an innovative method of micro-batch custom beans, it presents the flavor of strawberries, blueberries, cream and wine. The sour and sweet berry wine comes from the combination of citric acid, gluconic acid and fructose. Lively and rich acid, slightly astringent tannins, thick but smooth mouth touch, all let people mistake it for wine to drink.
