Stop in for a cup of coffee

Flavor profile: Strong, earthy, and nutty with a slightly sweet and woody taste. It lacks the acidity of coffee but has a rich, bold flavor.
Aroma: Smells like roasted coffee.
Preparation: Typically roasted, ground, and brewed. The roasting process is key to transforming its flavor from bitter to a desirable, coffee-like quality.
