Blind Assessment
Brightly sweet, rich-toned. Red currant, agave syrup, lemon verbena, dark chocolate, cedar in aroma and cup. Juicy, lively acidity; crisp, lightly satiny mouthfeel. Sweetly herbaceous finish supported by notes of dark chocolate and cedar.
Notes
Produced by smallholding members of the Barichu Cooperative Society, from trees of the SL28, SL34, K7 and Ruiru 11 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Located in southwestern Colorado, Durango Coffee lays claim to a rich coffee history that dates to 1986. Its motto is “Tough Town, Great Coffee.” Visit durangocoffee.com or call 800-748-2275 for more information.
Bottom Line
A classic Kenya cup that leads with notes of red currant and has undertones of sweet herbs, rich aromatic wood, and distinct dark chocolate.
