Blind Assessment
Crisp and complexly cocoa-toned in aroma and cup, with a tart, pungent berry complication and a hint of lilyish flowers. Bright acidity; light but very silky mouthfeel. Clean, dry, cocoa-toned finish.
Notes
Despite grower discontent and sporadic social disorder, Kenya continues to produce some of the world's most elegant and distinctive coffees. This lot was produced mainly from trees of Kenya’s two premier varieties of Arabica, the Bourbon-related SL28 and SL34. Kuma Coffee is a small Seattle, Washington based roaster committed to the idea that coffee fosters relationships. Visit www.kumacoffee.com or call 206-384-6092 for more information.
Who Should Drink It
Those who enjoy fine white table wines that balance mineral and fruit. An impressive Kenya in the slightly austere, elegant dry berry style.
