Poised and balanced in aroma and cup, with cocoa-toned fruit, nut, aromatic wood, and a hint of mint-like herb. Delicately rich acidity, lightly syrupy body. The finish reveals a hint of astringency. |  |
Soft aroma of flowers, ripe apricot and nectarine. Bright, fruit-toned acidity, lightly syrupy mouthfeel and a lightly lemon-saturated flavor that softens and sweetens toward apricot and tangerine. Finishes sweetly, with a hint of pungent baker's chocolate developing in the long. | |
Sweet, roundly pungent aroma with notes of caramel and flowers. Richly balanced acidity; medium body with a gently silky mouthfeel. Sustained flavor of apricot with hints of flowers, berry and chocolate. The fruit and chocolate merge in a dry, slightly tart finish. | |
A roundly bright cup, with aromatic and flavor notes of flowers combined with hints of stone fruit, baking spices and toast. A gracefully clean, very sweet and long finish with a pleasing toasty and caramel-like character. | |
Same admiring scores from Ken (93) and co-cupper Andy Newbom (93) for this smoothly complete, complexly balanced coffee. "Sweet fruit and spice" in the aroma for Andy, which provokes ideas of "stewed jasmine and apricots." Ken finds flowers and apricot also, along with a little pungent note he calls butterscotch. The acidity is "smoothly delicate" for Ken, "luxurious and suave" for Andy, who suggests the acidity "combined the best of both red and golden apples." Refined flavor with a fine balance of dry and sweet fruit tones. Andy elaborates with an avalanche of allusions to apricot, casaba melon and "touches of red currant and candied grapefruit." Rich, deep, "long and glorious" (Andy) finish. | |
Dry berry notes (the famous Kenya "black currant"), lemon, dusk flowers and a hint of dark chocolate open in the intense aroma and carry with pungent authority into the cup. Balanced acidity, supple mouthfeel, deep, flavor-saturated finish. | |
Balanced, delicate. Softly pungent, floral-toned aroma. In the cup gentle acidity, silky mouthfeel, essential sweetness, great purity, with cocoa and continued floral notes. | |
Heady flowers, lemon and menthol in the aroma with backgrounded suggestions of honey and butter. In the cup balanced acidity, surprisingly full body, and a continued rich complex of flowers, lemon and honey. Flavor fades rather quickly in the finish. | |
A dramatically light roast of a flawless coffee nets an intensely high-toned, delicate cup. Honey and flowers in the aroma, in the cup sweet-toned, wine-like acidity, silky mouthfeel, continued honey, flowers and white wine with a pungent hint of pipe tobacco. The finish is rich and dry without imbalancing astringency. | |
Big, deep, classically symphonic coffee. Intense aroma: black-cherryish fruit, white wine, flowers. In the cup syrupy body, powerful but rounded acidity, pungently juicy flavor with sweet lemon and night flower notes. Pure, smooth, fruit-and-flower saturated finish. | |
Delicate but intense aroma, with milk chocolate, nut and coffee fruit notes that read as tart cherry. In the cup impressive balance and structure: lushly sweet but crisply acidy with a lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Continued tart cherry and chocolate notes carry into a simple but cleanly rich finish. | |
Sweet-toned, quietly intense aroma: jasmine, sweet citrus, cocoa. In the cup the mouthfeel is silky, almost syrupy, the acidity intense but delicate with shimmers of white wine. Orange, lemon, cocoaish chocolate, floral notes. Long, deep, flavor-saturated finish. | |
Intense, exuberantly complex aroma: orange, grapefruit, honey, cedar, blackcurrant. In the cup the acidity is intense and sweet, the mouthfeel syrupy, the flavor continuingly complex, dry yet lush: blackcurrant, grapefruit, wine, a hint of milk chocolate. The finish is superb: saturated with grapefruit and chocolate, sweet, rich, long. | |
Intense, floral-toned aroma with pungent suggestions of prune and cedary chocolate. In the cup very smoothly balanced, with soft acidity, silky mouthfeel and a richly dry, distinct cocoa that sustains its presence in the long finish. | |
An extraordinarily pure coffee in a dramatically light roast style. Sweet nut, fresh-cut cedar and orangy citrus in the aroma. Medium-bodied and giddily sweet in the cup, delicate but rich, with low, wine-toned acidity, an orange-toned fruit and hints of nut, flowers and chocolate. The complex fruit notes carry into a quietly rich, clean finish. | |
One more terrific, full-bore Kenya. The rich, winy acidity carries us up and out, expanding the boundaries of the profile and revealing the usual mouth-filling resonance at the heart of the coffee. | |
Floral and vanilla tones hover in the high-toned acidity, exciting without distracting. The acidity is authoritative despite its floral delicacy and the body surprisingly substantial, although the entire profile loses momentum in the finish. | |
