Blind Assessment
Deeply sweet, roast-toned. Brown sugar, scorched oak, hints of black currant, lavender and lily in aroma and cup. Quietly brisk acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The brown sugar note turns chocolaty and the floral hints persist in a gently drying finish.
Notes
Despite national coffee leadership marred by confusion and accusations of corruption, 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 fewest physical imperfections. A member of the Clabber Girl family of businesses, Rex Roasting is “an exhibition style, small-batch artisan roaster” focused on roasting high-quality specialty coffee.
