Blind Assessment

Vividly lively yet elegantly smooth coffee. Intense aroma with tart cherry and round, low-acid fruit notes, banana perhaps, with hints of fresh leather. In the cup sweet, lyric acidity, light but silky mouthfeel, cherry and cocoa notes. Rich, sweet, deeply long finish.

Who Should Drink It

A relatively low-acid Kenya for those who want to experience one of the world's great coffee origins without the acidy bite but with everything else (and more) intact.
