Blind Assessment
Softly pungent, lushly exhilarating. Narcissus-like flowers, dark chocolate, sweet lime, myrrh in aroma and cup. Quietly though complexly bright acidity; buoyant, syrupy mouthfeel. Flavor carries deep into a sweet finish.
Notes
Keremara Jungle Estate is a family-run farming collective established in 1974 and currently managed by John Kimondo. AA is the highest grade of Kenya coffee based on bean size and freedom from physical defects. This coffee was produced entirely from trees of the much-admired SL28 variety of Arabica. Barrington Coffee is an artisan roaster dedicated to elite coffees, fresh delivery and roasting that foregrounds the coffee and not the roast.

Who Should Drink It
A striking but very accessible coffee. The combination of flowers, chocolate, sweet citrus and a pungent, incense-like note is unusual, and supported by a structure both balanced and seductive.
