Blind Assessment
Nectar-like sweetness with distinct floral and apricot notes; hints of cocoa and pungent fir. Delicate, lucid acidity; light but very silky mouthfeel. Simplifies just a bit in a sweet but drying finish.
Notes
This coffee was produced exclusively from trees of Kenya’s premier varieties of Arabica, the great, Bourbon-related SL28 and SL34. Despite grower discontent and urban encroachment on prime coffee lands, Kenya continues to produce some of the world's most elegant and distinctive coffees. Bard Coffee is a coffeehouse and roasting company based in Portland, Maine, focused on distinctive single-origin coffees. Bard Coffee is co-owned by Bob Garver, founder of Wicked Joe coffee and a frequent judge at barista competitions in the United States and internationally. Visit
