Blind Assessment
Rich, complex, savory sweet. Caramel, lemon, molasses, hints of apricot and rose-like flowers in aroma and cup. Crisply tart acidity; silky mouthfeel. Flavor carries into a rich though drying finish.
Notes
Despite grower discontent and loss of prime growing terrain to urban development, Kenya continues to produce some of the world's most elegant and distinctive coffees. AA is the highest grade of Kenya coffee based mainly on bean size. Barrington Coffee is an artisan roaster dedicated to elite coffees, fresh delivery and roasting that foregrounds the coffee and not the roast. Visit
Who Should Drink It
Unusual Kenya profile, deep and savory sweet with layered complexity. Suggests pairing with desserts.
