Blind Assessment
Deep, sweet, and pungent with the dry fruit notes: black currant and cherry complicated by suggestions of fresh-tanned leather and fresh-cut fir. The acidity is rich and assertive, the mouthfeel heavy but slightly lean. The dry berry notes carry deep into an intense, resonant finish.
Notes
This coffee is only available retail to consumers in Canada. Despite grower discontent and sporadic social disorder, Kenya continues to produce some of the world's most elegant and distinctive coffees. AA is the highest grade of Kenya coffee based on bean size and relative freedom from physical defect. Founded in 1975, Timothy's World Coffee is a Toronto-based, quality-oriented specialty coffee chain. Visit
Who Should Drink It
