Blind Assessment

A Kenya in the grandly classic mode: intense but perfectly balanced, full-bodied, voluptuous with dry red wine and cherry tones, acidy without bitterness. The tactful medium-dark roast rounds the acidity and contributes a slight roasty note.

Who Should Drink It

Anyone who wants to know why Kenya is one of the world's premier coffee origins. The acidity is powerful but sufficiently bathed in a natural sweetness that even more timid palates should enjoy this version of the big Kenya profile.
