Blind Assessment
Richly sweet-savory, multi-layered. Blackberry, dark chocolate, salted caramel, fresh-cut cedar, narcissus in aroma and cup. Balanced, sweet-savory structure with juicy-bright acidity; plush, creamy mouthfeel. The long finish leads with dark chocolate and narcissus.
Notes
Produced by smallholding members of the Ngariama Cooperative Society, from trees of the SL28, Ruiru 11 and Batian varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Bird Rock Coffee Roasters is a retailer and wholesaler focused on organic and socially responsible coffees; it was named the “2012 Micro-Roaster of the Year” by Roast Magazine.

Bottom Line
