Roast: Medium-Light Review Date: April 2012
Origin: Ruiru growing region, central Kenya. Price: $19.95/16 ounces
 

Blind Assessment: Rich, complex, savory sweet. Caramel, lemon, molasses, hints of apricot and rose-like flowers in aroma and cup. Crisply tart acidity; silky mouthfeel. Flavor carries into a rich though drying finish.

Notes: Despite grower discontent and loss of prime growing terrain to urban development, Kenya continues to produce some of the world's most elegant and distinctive coffees. AA is the highest grade of Kenya coffee based mainly on bean size. 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: Unusual Kenya profile, deep and savory sweet with layered complexity. Suggests pairing with desserts.

Coffee, more so than wine, is a continually changing product. Recent reviews, whether written by Coffee Review or readers, are most likely to reflect current versions of a given coffee.
