Blind Assessment

The exhilaratingly bright, complexly winy acidity turns slightly hard and herbal as it settles on the palate, limiting the vivacity of the first impression. As the coffee cools the profile relaxes, allowing some rich sweetness to emerge behind the acidity.

Notes

A special selection for the holiday, this coffee's acidity is exhilaratingly bright and complexly winy. As the coffee cools the profile relaxes, allowing some rich sweetness to emerge. Kevin Knox, coffee buyer at Allegro, saves what he considers the best lots of the year's crop of Kenya AA to offer as a special selection for the holidays.

Who Should Drink It

The holiday factor:Hearty and authoritative enough for pumpkin pies and similar faux-country pleasures; lively enough to overcome post-prandial moroseness.
