Blind Assessment
The winy acidity characteristic of Kenyas here is pungent and deep, without a trace of fruit or shimmer of berry. It is possible the coffee has faded a bit in storage. Still, a powerful coffee that offers an interesting twist to the Kenya theme.
Notes
The winy acidity of Kenyas here is pungent and deep, without a trace of fruit or shimmer of berry. It may have faded a bit in storage. Still, a powerful coffee that offers an interesting twist to the Kenya theme. Torreo's best-selling coffee in the retail arena.
Who Should Drink It
The best-seller factor:The fact that a consistently fine origin like a Kenya is a best seller is no surprise to me. The fact that this particular best-selling Kenya displays winy notes that are deep and without much brightness at the top may be coincidental, or it could be one more indication that many Americans prefer less acidy profiles than do coffee professionals.
