Blind Assessment
Very sweet-toned aroma with floral and honey notes and a balancing walnut crispness. In the cup gentle acidity, light but silky mouthfeel, and a continued giddy, honey-toned, floral sweetness as fresh but voluptuous as a tropical morning. The finish is delicate and rather short, but as cleanly refreshing as the rest of the profile.
Notes
This coffee is offered in cooperation with the Jane Goodall Institute, the organization founded by animal researcher and conservationist Jane Goodall to support ongoing research into chimpanzee behavior and protect chimpanzees and their habitats. The 2,700 members of the Kalinzi cooperative that produced this superb coffee live on the boundaries of the Gombe reserve, the national park that protects the threatened habitat of the chimpanzees. 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.
