89	Growers Alliance Coffee Jacksonville, Florida Gourmet Kenya Roast: Dark Review Date: November 2009 Origin: Kenya. Price: NA

Blind Assessment: Sweet caramel-toned aroma with a mild roasty pungency and soft, backgrounded fruit. The sweetness and aromatic notes carry into the cup and complicate as the cup cools, revealing a distinct black currant and cherry-chocolate character. The pungent roastiness lingers softly in the finish.

Growers Alliance is a coffee roasting company based in Florida that was founded by coffee growers from Kenya.

Who Should Drink It: A moderately dark roast deepens the sweetness and rounds the dry fruit of this Kenya.
