Blind Assessment
Richly sweet-savory, deep-toned. Red currant, ripe tomato, dark chocolate, cedar, agave syrup in aroma and cup. Lively, balanced acidity; plush, crisp, lightly satiny mouthfeel. Long, resonant, flavor-saturated, harmonious finish.
Notes
Produced by smallholding members of the Murue Farmer's Cooperative, from trees of the SL-28, SL-34, Ruiru 11, Batian and K7 varieties of Arabica, and processed at the Ngrueri Coffee Factory by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). JBC Coffee Roasters’ vision is simple: “Let the coffee lead the way” through sourcing and roasting the best coffees available and rewarding the farmers who grow those coffees with substantial premiums.

Bottom Line
An umami throughline distinguishes this classic Kenya, which is bright, juicy, deep and complex.
