Blind Assessment

Evaluated as espresso. Richly chocolaty, floral-toned. Chocolate fudge, pomegranate, narcissus, tangerine zest, gently scorched cedar in aroma and small cup. Tannic, syrupy mouthfeel; crisply chocolaty finish. In cappuccino format, both dark chocolate and narcissus are amplified, backed by tart pomegranate.

Notes

Produced by smallholding members of the Kibugu Farmer's Cooperative Society, from trees of the SL28 and SL34 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). GK Coffee is a nano-roastery in Yilan, Taiwan, that offers both retail and wholesale coffee. For more information, visit www.gkcoffee.com.tw or email [email protected].

Bottom Line

A cohesive, compelling single-origin Kenya espresso that’s as rich and satisfying in the straight shot as it is in milk — elaborately chocolaty and floral.
