Blind Assessment
Complex, nuanced, multi-layered. Black currant, freesia, amber, toffee, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart structure with juicy, high-toned acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The resonant finish leads with black currant and toffee notes in the short, rounding to amber and cedar in the long.
Notes
Produced by the Kariruki family from trees of the classic Kenya SL28 and SL34 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp are removed before drying). Buon Caffe is a specialty coffee roaster and cafe in Taipei, Taiwan. Visit www.buoncaffe.com.tw for more information.
Bottom Line
A distinctive Kenya cup laden with classic black currant notes and undertones of spicy florals — especially vibrant acidity.
