Blind Assessment
Complex, multi-layered, deep-toned. Red currant, cocoa nib, tangerine, fresh-cut oak, marjoram in aroma and cup. Bright, juicy structure with phosphoric (cola-like) acidity; crisp, syrupy mouthfeel. Resonant finish centered around notes of red currant and cocoa nib.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers, from trees of the SL28 and SL34 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying) at the Kagunyu Washing Station. JBC Coffee Roasters’ vision is simple: “Let the coffee lead the way” through sourcing and roasting the best and most unique coffees available and rewarding the farmers who grow those coffees with substantial premiums.

Bottom Line
A classic Kenya cup with its bright currant, cocoa nib and citrus impulses, and its sparkling acidity — and recognizably so, both aromatically and in the flavor profile.
