Blind Assessment
Shallow and thin throughout. Sweet, caramelly, high-toned, but without nuance or dimension in either aroma or cup. Thin, astringent finish.
Notes
K-Cups are designed for the Keurig single-serve brewer. Kenya is one of the world's great coffee origins, although it's hard to tell from this example. As with many (though certainly not all) single-serve convenience coffees, it would seem that something went wrong in the packaging. Visit
Who Should Drink It
This poor coffee has been reduced to a sort of Kenya Kool-Aid.
