This is the Kirin Fire Aroma Brew Black, an unsweetened black coffee.
The coffee had a deep black-brown colour and a fragrant roasted aroma, reminiscent of freshly brewed coffee. When consumed chilled, it was exceptionally smooth, starting mellow before gradually developing rich roasted notes. The bitterness was well-balanced, briefly intensifying to a flavour profile akin to cocoa, with only a hint of acidity at the finish. The roasted coffee aroma lingered pleasantly in the aftertaste.
Overall, this was an enjoyable black coffee, offering a smooth, balanced flavour and a fresh-brewed scent, making it worth repurchasing.
