Blind Assessment
Quietly rich, savory/sweet. Dark chocolate, black currant, black sage, blood orange, a black-truffle-like hint in aroma and cup. Plump, deep-toned acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. Roundly resonant, flavor-saturated finish.
Notes
Produced from trees of the admired heirloom SL28 and SL34 varieties of Arabica, as well as the hybrids Ruiru 11 and K7. Muiri Estate was established in 1969 under an earlier name and has been certified organic since 2008. Despite grower discontent and sporadic social disorder, Kenya continues to produce some of the world’s most elegant and distinctive coffees. The Bean Fruit motto is a quotation from Galatians 5:22-23: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” Visit www.beanfruit.com or call 601-624-2605 for more information.
