Blind Assessment

Intensely aromatic, juicy, crisply sweet. Black currant, pomelo, cocoa nib, tomato blossom, freesia in aroma and cup. Bright, savory-sweet acidity; plush, syrupy mouthfeel. The finish is long and resonant, emphasizing black currant, cocoa nib and pomelo notes.

Bottom Line

A classic yet unusually lush Kenya profile: vibrant, fruit-saturated and floral, with a deep cocoa throughline and impressive structure.
