Blind Assessment

Deep-toned, sweetly savory. Ripe tomato, baking chocolate, black currant, fresh-cut oak, lemon verbena in aroma and cup. Sweet-savory structure with crisp acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. A quiet finish centers around notes of baking chocolate and aromatic oak.

Notes

Produced by smallholding members of the Barichu Farmers Cooperative Society from trees of the SL28 and SL34 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). 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 a grounding umami throughline suggesting ripe, juicy tomato, with undertones of black currant and crisp chocolate.
