Blind Assessment
Balanced, softly complex aromatics in aroma and cup: nut, cocoa, orangy citrus, black currant, hints of baker’s chocolate, flowers. The richly tart acidity is softened by a floral suggestion; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Deep, resonant finish with some flavor persisting.
Notes
Produced mainly from trees of the admired, Bourbon-derived SL 28 and SL 34 varieties. Grown by the Gikanda Co-op and processed at the distinguished, award-winning Gichatha-Ini Factory. Fair Trade certified, meaning it was purchased from small-holding farmers at a "fair" or economically sustainable price. Roasted at PT’s Coffee, where the motto is “without the love, it’s just coffee.” Visit
Who Should Drink It
The pungent Kenya fruit is softened and deepened without loss of its tart authority in this quietly complex version of the Kenya profile.
