Blind Assessment
Richly tart, resonantly complex. Orange, black currant, walnut, honeysuckle and jasmine in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Long, deep finish, resonant with flavor.
Notes
This coffee was produced exclusively from trees of one of Kenya’s premier varieties of Arabica, the great, Bourbon-related SL28. Despite grower discontent and urban encroachment on prime coffee lands, Kenya continues to produce some of the world's most elegant and distinctive coffees.
