Blind Assessment
Lush, berry-sweet aroma with notes of honey, aromatic wood, and night flowers. In the cup, lightly syrupy mouthfeel, bright acidity, with an orangy sweet citrus character complicated by continued suggestions of berry and aromatic wood. A very mild astringency distracts from an otherwise sweet, fruit-toned finish.
Notes
Despite grower discontent and sporadic social disorder, Kenya continues to produce some of the world's most elegant and distinctive coffees. An integral part of New York's coffee renaissance, Brooklyn based Cafe Grumpy opened its first cafe in 2005 and has since expanded to three locations, in addition to their own roasting facility.
