Quality 17.9 / 20
Light-handiwork; a fresh-direct, almost raw sensation. Chocolate invisibly hangs out there, virtually tasteless but like air it’s all pervasive. Coffee pronounced (typical of heavy Sumatrans) though never domineering as to prevent Hi-C fruit bursts shooting up a caffeine soda fountain.
