Blind Assessment
Deep-toned, richly sweet-savory. Dark chocolate, boysenberry, almond brittle, sorrel, star jasmine in aroma and cup. Juicy-bright acidity; vibrant, syrupy mouthfeel. Harmonious, integrated, long-lasting finish.
Notes
Produced by smallholding members of the Baragwi Farmers Cooperative Society, from trees of the SL34, SL28, Batian and Ruiru 11 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Bear Lake Coffee Co., a B Corp-certified coffeehouse and roastery located in Barronett, Wisconsin, is committed to sustainability through its Coffee with a Purpose™ initiative, which ensures that farmers receive compensation well above the Fairtrade Premium for their exceptional small-batch coffee.

Bottom Line
A classic Kenya cup for its juicy brightness, deep berry sweetness, and complex floral underpinnings — especially balanced, energetic acidity.
