  • Primavera Coffee Roasters

    Birmiingham, Alabama
  • Kenya AA Estate Gituto

Roast: Medium-Dark Review Date: April 2008
Origin: South-central Kenya. Price: $7.95/8oz
 

Blind Assessment: Exquisitely lyric aroma: flowers, tart cherry, honey, a suggestion of milk chocolate. In the cup sweet acidity and continued meadowy flower and flowering grass notes, honey, tart cherry, all of which carry into a delicate but ringing finish.

Notes: Despite recent violent social conflict and a national coffee leadership marred by confusion and apparent corruption, Kenya cooperatives continue to produce some of the world's most elegant and distinctive coffees. AA is the highest grade of Kenya coffee based on bean size. Primavera is an artisan in-shop roaster, retailer and cafe in Birmingham, Alabama. Visit www.primaveracoffee.com or call 205-969-1177 for more information.

Who Should Drink It: Springtime in a cup for late winter mornings.
