Blind Assessment
Richly sweet-savory, deep-toned. Red currant, cola, dark chocolate, bay leaf, violet in aroma and cup. Bright, juicy acidity; very full, syrupy smooth mouthfeel. Resonant, integrated finish centered around notes of red currant and dark chocolate.
Notes
Produced by smallholding members of the Kimaratia Farmers’ Cooperative Society (FCS), from trees of the SL28 and SL34 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Barrington Coffee is an artisan roaster dedicated to elite coffees, fresh delivery, and roasting that foregrounds the coffee and not the roast.

Bottom Line
A juicy, deep, complex Kenya cup with characteristic currant and cola notes, complicated by sweet herb and rich chocolate throughout the profile.
