Blind Assessment
Co-cupper Christy Thorns reduced her score to 89 for this Kenya because she felt its chocolate and spice inclinations were not characteristic of the origin. Ken started at 88 and stayed there. He had no problem admiring the chocolate-inclining sweet citrus character he read in aroma and cup, but felt that ultimately the cup was a bit too simple for a top rating.
Notes
Kenya is one of the world's most admired coffee origins. Flying Goat is a quality-oriented small-batch wholesale/retail roaster located in northern California's wine country. Visit
Who Should Drink It
