Blind Assessment
Dramatic, saturated, incisive. Blackcurrant, ruby grapefruit, tomato leaf, honeycomb, dark chocolate in aroma and cup. Crisp, sweet-savory acidity; plush, viscous mouthfeel. The finish is long and echoing, layering currant and citrus over savory florals and cocoa.
Notes
Produced by smallholding members of the Othaya Cooperative, from trees of the SL28, SL34 and Ruiru 11 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional Kenyan washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). JBC Coffee Roasters’ vision is simple: “let the coffee lead the way” through sourcing and roasting the best and most unique coffees available and rewarding the farmers who grow those coffees with substantial premiums.

Bottom Line
A spectacular Kenya showing depth, structure, and aromatic clarity. Classic SL-varietal character rendered with precision and power, with a sweet-savory balance that is electrifying.
