Blind Assessment

Attractively tart, bright, complexly layered. Red currant, petrichor (a post-rain earthy note), wisteria, lemongrass, elm in aroma and cup. Sweet-tart structure with bright, juicy acidity; delicate, silky mouthfeel. The finish centers on notes of red currant and lemongrass; a pleasing coconut note surfaces in the long.

Bottom Line

This Kenya cup leads with notes of sweet florals and red berries supported by an undercurrent of petrichor, the pleasing first aroma of rain on dry earth.
