Blind Assessment
The only Zimbabwe in the cupping. Lighter and drier than the best Kenya, with less dimension in the cup and a somewhat more attenuated finish. The pleasure is in the superb top of this coffee, both aroma and acidity levitating with dry fruit and cinnamon tones.
Notes
This coffee from Zimbabwe has a superb top, both the aroma and acidity levitating with dry fruit and cinnamon tones. Grade 053
Who Should Drink It
Aficionados looking for variety in their East-African in-the-cup adventures. People who enjoy the Kenya profile but find the Kenya acidity too dramatic.
