full-bodied coffee, very sweet with a slight citric tang


Explanation:
Or more literally:
full-bodied coffee with a slight citric tang and very sweet

I realize there are several ways to say this, but a couple of points are important:

- "Cítrica" refers to the type of acidity (tang); it's not a separate characteristic.

- Sweetness and tang/acidity are somewhat contradictory, so it feels more logical to put the sweetness first and then "cut" it with the tang.

711 refs for ["citric tang"+coffee]; 3,280 refs for ["citric tang"] without "coffee", as the phrase is also used to describe wine and other spirits.
