“Unfortunately I don't know the predecessor to make a comparison. All in all, a nice blend. But unfortunately nothing extraordinary that knocks me off my feet. In my opinion, it fits into the easy sipper category.”

“A solid and beautiful Jamaica blend. Unfortunately, however, not on the level of the Ester Delight I. For 135€ priced for 2023 okay, but not outstanding.”
