Cup Characteristics
An initial greeting of juicy watermelon sweetness meets soft, floral undertones with lush acidity and aromatic elegance. The note of pear brings a smooth, crisp and slightly tart finish to the party. Like a sparkling water, its effervescent quality adds a fun and lively dynamic to the cup. Let's get this party started.
