Acidity6.4TYPICAL

Acid load sits near the comparison — enough lift without dominating.

Aroma3.8TYPICAL

Average aromatic feedstock — room to lift florals through Maillard control.

Flavor4.9RESTRAINED

A simpler, more linear flavor — comfort profiles and blends suit it.

Sweetness4.5RESTRAINED

Natural sugars are calmer than peers — build sweetness through the Maillard phase.

Body3.3STRONG

Lipids and polysaccharides build real weight — holds up in espresso and milk.
