Blind Assessment
Brightly sweet, crisp. Grapefruit zest, lily, cinnamon, blackcurrant, vanilla in aroma and cup. Lively, juicy acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. The rich, deep finish is alive with lily and vanilla suggestions; blackcurrant and grapefruit zest come forward in the long.
Notes
Despite challenges ranging from unclear government coffee policy and urban encroachment on prime coffee lands to chronically unstable weather, the famed Kenya coffee auction system and its participating cooperatives continue to produce some of the world’s most elegant and distinctive coffees. The WestBean is a San Diego-based roastery founded by two friends with a passion for coffee and a determination to bring their customers the highest quality hand-crafted coffee possible.

Bottom Line
A sweet, spicy-crisp, floral-toned Kenya beauty.
