Blind Assessment
Big, sweet, brightly juicy. Blood orange, black currant, complex flowers (lily, rose, violet), in aroma and cup. Sweet, zesty acidity; satiny mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates around flowers and citrus in a richly drying finish.
Notes
Despite stresses brought on by charges of corruption and a confused transition toward an open market, the famed Kenya coffee auction system and its participating cooperatives continue to produce some of the world’s most elegant and distinctive coffees. Barrington Coffee is an artisan roaster dedicated to elite coffees, fresh delivery and roasting that foregrounds the coffee and not the roast.

Who Should Drink It
Aficionados of the classic Kenya cup: big, bright, dry but juicy, deeply nuanced with flowers and sweetly tart fruit.
