Blind Assessment
(As brewed in a Keurig B70 Platinum single-serve brewing device using a Keurig-compatible capsule to produce a 6-ounce serving). Bright, juicy, complex. Concord grape, ripe grapefruit, a hint of dark chocolate in aroma and cup. Delicate, lively acidity; light, silky mouthfeel. The fruit notes consolidate and carry into a clean, sweet-toned finish.
Notes
Despite grower discontent and urban encroachment on prime coffee lands, Kenya continues to produce some of the world's most elegant and distinctive coffees. AA is the highest grade of Kenya coffee based on bean size and freedom from physical imperfections. Keurig/Green Mountain, formerly Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, pioneered single-serve capsule brewing in the United States with its Keurig brewing system, and remains one of the country’s leading large specialty roasters, offering a particularly wide-ranging variety of origins and roast styles.

Who Should Drink It
Unusual opportunity for Keurig owners to enjoy a distinctive version of one of the world’s great single-origin coffees.
