Ruoxia is a member of the Tibika family, but it has become famous after leaving Ethiopia for more than 70 years, and it has fulfilled the saying that Ethiopia is a treasure trove of Arabica genes. it is enough to make waves and roses in the coffee market. The dry aroma of rose summer is very bright, with the characteristics of rose and jasmine, pomelo and citrus aromas, light baking with nutty aromas. The wet aroma also has the smell of hazelnut, and more floral characteristics emerge. In terms of taste and flavor, compared with the previously rising aroma, it may be slightly mild and subtle in the early stage, and the flower and fruit flavor will gradually increase as the temperature drops, and the cold aroma is excellent (sweet preserved fruit, rose fruit, orange glaze jam, strawberry jam, silk pine, cherry, vanilla and rose gradually fade, leading to lemon-flavored fruit).
