Blind Assessment
Sweetly savory, rich-toned, complex. Apricot, tamarind, pink grapefruit zest, dark chocolate, candied violet in aroma and cup. Savory-sweet structure with bright, juicy acidity; very full, syrupy mouthfeel. Long, satiating finish with resonant stone fruit, citrus zest and dark chocolate notes.
Notes
Produced by smallholding members of the Gikanda Cooperative, from trees of the SL28 and SL34 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Founded in 1990, Roadmap CoffeeWorks, formerly Lexington Coffee Roasters, is an award-winning artisan roasting company based in Lexington, Virginia. Roadmap CoffeeWorks focuses on producing fresh, distinctive and sustainable coffees. Visit www.roadmapcoffeeworks.com or call 800-322-6505 for more information.
Bottom Line
A classic juicy-bright Kenya, exuberant, confident and intricately balanced.
