Blind Assessment

Deep-toned, richly sweet. Passionfruit, scorched sandalwood, violet, tangerine, cocoa powder in aroma and cup. Gentle but juicy acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. Honey-like, floral finish with legs.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers from trees of the SL28 and SL34 varieties of Arabica and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). MK Coffee Roasters, a short walk from the Shulin train station in New Taipei City, specializes in high-quality roasted beans to take home and expertly brewed coffees to enjoy in the café.

Bottom Line

A big, resonant dark-roast Kenya that preserves origin character and offers up sweetly tart fruit, delicate floral and rich aromatic wood notes with a not-too-roasty edge.
