Blind Assessment
Richly sweet-savory. Black currant, baker’s chocolate, fine musk, oak, magnolia in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart-savory in structure with juicy, buoyant acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. The finish consolidates to notes of baker’s chocolate and black currant with a hint of fine musk.
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. Big Creek Coffee Roasters is a small, quality-oriented batch roaster located in Montana’s Bitterroot Valley. Visit www.bigcreekcoffeeroasters.com or call 406-375-7508 for more information.
Bottom Line
A classic Kenya cup: balanced, muscularly fruit-toned, elegantly floral.
