Blind Assessment
Delicately and sweetly pungent. Night-blooming flowers, caramel, raisin, with a cranberry tartness in aroma and cup. Lively, buoyant acidity; very light but silky mouthfeel. Hints of cranberry and caramel carry into a very sweet though drying finish.
Notes
Despite grower discontent and urban encroachment on prime coffee lands, Kenya continues to produce some of the world's most elegant and distinctive coffees. AA is the highest grade of Kenya coffee based on size of bean and freedom from physical imperfections. Gracenote Coffee is a small coffee roaster in Berlin, Massachusetts dedicated to making every roast better through coffee literacy, continuous and vigorous sensory analysis, and by caring a whole lot.

Delicately, refreshingly brisk yet sweetly floral version of the great Kenya profile.
