This is the Wild Watermelon Experience blend by People Posession in Paris, prepared as a pour-over ($10.00) by Fidelity in Katoomba. The blend features washed coffee beans sourced from Costa Rica and Colombia, co-fermented with watermelon.
The beverage presented with a translucent dark brown hue. Aroma opened with distinct, unmistakable notes of watermelon and strawberry, establishing a light, fruity profile without the usual roasted bitterness.
Initial contact delivered the same watermelon and strawberry notes, creating a lively, summery fruit profile with subtle sweetness rather than overt sweetness. The flavour evoked the honeyed centre of a honeydew melon, with a hint of tropical acidity introducing a suggestion of strawberry or guava towards the finish. The coffee itself remained light-bodied and smooth, without notable bitterness, acidity or astringency. The restrained roast allowed the fruit character to remain prominent throughout, delivering convincingly on the blend’s promised flavour profile.
Overall, a light-bodied pour-over with a converging watermelon and strawberry profile, transitioning into honeyed melon sweetness and subtle tropical acidity, resulting in a smooth, fruit-forward cup without the bitterness or astringency often associated with coffee.
This Wild Watermelon Experience blend was purchased as a pour-over from Fidelity in Katoomba, Australia, in October 2026.
