Blind Assessment
Buttery aroma: nut, flowers, dry berry. Rich acidity, medium body. The elegantly pungent berry note cuppers call black currant dominates in the cup, but supported by a profound underlying sweetness that gives the berry a dark chocolate depth. Flowers revive in the fine, rich, flavor-saturated finish.
Notes
Despite national coffee leadership marred by confusion and infrastructure threatened by recent social disorder, Kenya cooperatives continue to produce some of the world's most elegant and distinctive coffees. JBC Coffee Roasters (formerly Johnson Brothers Coffee) is a distinguished small-batch roasting company. Visit www.jbccoffeeroasters.com or call 608-256-5282 for more information.
