WHAT IT TASTES LIKE
THE ENTHUSIAST brings together medium-high umami, a creamy and silky body, and remarkably low bitterness and astringency.
It's smooth and composed, with a rounded umami character that doesn't overpower the palate.
The finish is well balanced, with gentle sweetness and a rounded umami note that keeps you coming back for another sip.
Think:
creamy → silky → rounded umami → gentle sweetness
It's refined enough to notice.
Easy enough to enjoy every day.
And just interesting enough to make you want to know more.
