Blind Assessment
Complex, deeply engaging. Bing cherry, pomelo, salted caramel, lemon balm, cedar in aroma and cup. Brightly sweet-tart with vivacious acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. The resonant finish consolidates around notes of cherry and bittersweet citrus.
Notes
Despite grower discontent, unclear government coffee policy and urban encroachment on prime coffee lands, the famed Kenya coffee auction system and its participating cooperatives continue to produce some of the world's most elegant and distinctive coffees. JBC Coffee Roasters’ vision is simple: “let the coffee lead the way” through sourcing and roasting the best and most unique coffees available and rewarding the farmers who grow those coffees with substantial premiums.

Bottom Line
A classic Kenya with notes of high-toned stone fruit, savory sweetness, citrus and rich aromatic wood.
