Blind Assessment: The characteristically powerful, Burgundy-like Kenya acidity dominates, but if you're patient an immense and subtle richness opens beneath it, assuring a long finish and a resonant aftertaste.
Notes: A true-to-form Kenya with the characteristically powerful, Burgundy-like acidity. An immense and subtle richness blossoms, with a long finish. Grade AA
Who Should Drink It : Anyone who wants to be absolutely certain they're not drinking a supermarket coffee. People who aren't embarrassed by Rubens and aesthetic excess.
