Blind Assessment: Sweetly spice-toned. Black currant, tea rose, pink peppercorn, toffee, oak in aroma and cup. Sweet structure with bright, juicy acidity; crisp, velvety mouthfeel. The quiet finish consolidates to notes of black currant and pink peppercorn.

Notes: Despite grower discontent, unclear government coffee policy and urban encroachment on prime coffee lands, the famed Kenya coffee auction system and its participating cooperatives continue to produce some of the world's most elegant and distinctive coffees. Sunny’s Coffee is a café and roastery in the Tochigi Prefecture specializing in craft-roasted coffees and house-made food. Visit sunnyscoffee.thebase.in for more information.   

The Bottom Line: An austere, brightly sweet Kenya cup with a spice throughline suggesting floral pink peppercorn.
