Blind Assessment
Some wine tones survive the dark roast to complicate the acidity. Brought along to a dark roast slowly enough to spare us burned notes, but for a Kenya not a lot of body or dimension either. The pleasure would seem to be the paradox of understated acidity and dark-roast pungency.
Notes
A paradox of understated acidity and dark-roast pungency, some wine tones. Grade AA. For more information, visit www.orensdailyroast.com.
Who Should Drink It
Anyone who likes both Kenya and dark roasts. Smooth enough to drink as espresso but acidy enough to remind you that you're still drinking Kenya.
