Blind Assessment

Elegant, richly sweet, deeply savory. Butterscotch, roasted cacao nib, dried jasmine, caraway seed, sandalwood in aroma and cup. Crisply sweet acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. The richly drying cocoa-toned finish is saturated with notes of butterscotch and dried jasmine.

Notes

Produced by the Kiamaina Cooperative, which currently has 600 members, led by factory manager Jane Mahinda and machine supervisor Purity Wanjiku. From trees of the admired SL28 and SL34 varieties of Arabica This coffee tied for the third-highest rating in a tasting of women-produced coffees for Coffee Review‘s June 2017 tasting report. Seattle Coffee Works is a small-batch retail and wholesale roasting company focused on quality and green coffee sourcing without compromise. Visit www.seattlecoffeeworks.com or call 206-340-8867 for more information.

Bottom Line

Poised between rich sweetness and bold savory tones, this Kenya is refined and deeply satisfying.
