Blind Assessment
Juicy, floral-toned, richly sweet-savory. Red currant, cocoa nib, star jasmine, pistachio, myrrh in aroma and cup. Sparkling (phosphoric) acidity; smooth, viscous mouthfeel. Quietly confident finish consolidates to notes of red currant and cocoa nib.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers of the Gatirima Cooperative, entirely of the SL34 variety of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Little Waves Coffee is a Latina-owned, women-forward company that provides livable wages for its diverse team. Visit www.littlewaves.coffee for more information.
Bottom Line
This single-variety (SL34) Kenya is balanced, juicy, and bright, with classic notes of currant and cocoa nib and exceptionally balanced acidity.
