Blind Assessment

Sweet, spicy, nut-toned. Pecan, carob, clove, black currant, lantana-like flowers in aroma and cup. Lively, juicy-tart acidity; delicate silky-smooth mouthfeel. The gently drying finish is carried by pecan notes in the short; black currant and clove return in the long.

Notes

Despite challenges ranging from unclear government coffee policy and urban encroachment on prime coffee lands to chronically unstable weather, the famed Kenya coffee auction system and its participating cooperatives continue to produce some of the world’s most elegant and distinctive coffees. AA is the highest grade of Kenya coffee based on bean size and freedom from physical imperfections. Lone Oak Coffee Company’s seven values — relationships, family, community, integrity, quality, education, and responsibility — inform its decisions about coffee from bean to cup.

Bottom Line

A gently aromatic coffee that sings in the bright, balanced acidity and levitating mouthfeel.
