Blind Assessment
Superb balance and complex, distinctive aromatics. Richly pungent, sweetly tart structure with cocoa-toned berry – blackberry, black currant – and hints of orange and fresh-cut fir in aroma and cup. Quietly rounded acidity; silky to lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The finish is long, smooth and flavor-saturated.
Notes
Kiaora, or Kia Ora, produces only coffee from trees of the heirloom Bourbon variety, and presents itself as the first coffee farm in Kenya to have achieved organic certification. Strongtree is a family-owned, quality-driven roaster specializing in organically certified coffees and located in historic Hudson, New York. Visit
