Orzo
Today, I tried a new (for me) drink called orzo. It's also known as barley coffee, which basically is an espresso-kind Italian hot drink that is made from ground barley. Since I don't consume caffeine, this beverage seemed to be right up my alley. The taste itself was rather bitter but palatable, and the aftertaste was really very pleasant. I wonder why I had never come across this drink before.

To me it adds a nuance of slight surprise, like it was unexpectedly pleasant. Just having "was really pleasant" or "was very pleasant" doesn't quite convey the same feeling IMO. I agree it's colloquial though

In that case, I might use „really quite pleasant“. Though it’s pretty similar to what you had, I think it sounds a bit more formal and would better match the tone of the rest of your paragraph
