Peru Aromas del Valle Merly León G1 – Washed Organic Light Roast | Good Brothers Coffee

Citrus Soda (7-Up). Vanilla Wafer. White Peach. Sparkling & Refined.

Peru Aromas del Valle Merly León G1 Washed Organic opens with a citrus 7-Up sweetness that immediately gives the cup a dessert-like softness — think white frosting and sugar. The first sip is lively and expressive, driven by a citrus-soda sparkle that lifts the cup with clean, refreshing acidity. As it cools, that brightness folds into white peach and soft stone fruit, becoming more elegant and composed with floral and green-citrus accents. High clarity, high sweetness — playful up front, refined in the finish.

⏳ Resting: 2 weeks for pour-over. 4 weeks for espresso.
