Blind Assessment

Richly sweet-savory. Ripe heirloom tomato, pomegranate, cocoa nib, sage, narcissus in aroma and cup. Complex sweet-savory-tart structure with elegantly bright acidity; plush, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. Long, lingering, flavor-saturated finish that foregrounds tomato, pomegranate and cocoa notes.

Bottom Line

A lush, nuanced, deep Kenya cup, classic in its balance of sweet and savory impulses, with a tart verticality that promotes structural complexity.
