Blind Assessment
Crisp, sweet-savory. Turbinado sugar, green apple, wild rose, white sage in aroma and cup. Big, richly bright acidity; satiny mouthfeel. Flowers, apple and brown sugar all carry into a roundly drying finish.
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. AA is the highest grade of Kenya coffee based on bean size and fewest physical imperfections. This is a wet-processed or “washed” coffee, meaning the fruit skin and pulp were removed from the beans immediately after harvesting and before drying. Bootstrap is the definition of a quality dedicated nano-roaster, with every bag carefully prepared by the roaster himself. Visit www.bootstrapcoffeeroasters.com for more information.
