A bit disappointing. Coffee felt like quite a dark roast profile. Too much milk and not steamed quite enough.

Quite a dark flavour profile even though it feels like a light roast. Maybe more suited to espresso?

I don't really get a milky flavour but there are definitely vanilla and cake flavours and a touch of rhubarb leading to vegetative notes

For me one of the better recent coffees from Senzu despite a slightly lower SCA score of 87
