Blind Assessment
Richly sweet-savory, juicy-bright. Dark chocolate, hop flowers, red currant, marjoram, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweetly savory structure with bright, high-toned acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. Very long finish that consolidates to notes of red currant and marjoram.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers, from trees of the SL28 and SL34 varieties of Arabica, and processed at the Gikirima Factory by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). CoffeeBox Coffee founders Godfrey and Coco focus on small-batch coffee roasting with the goal of making the joy of premium coffee accessible to everyone. Visit shop.coffeebox.tw for more information.
Bottom Line
A classic Kenya profile: juicy, bright, deeply rich, with notes of currant and dark chocolate, supported by dusky herbs.
