Blind Assessment
Ripe, winey and deep-toned. Blackberry, Concord grape, blood orange, cocoa powder and sweet basil in aroma and cup. Juicy, berry-toned acidity; light, supple mouthfeel. The finish is fruit-sweet and persistent, with notes of blackberry, blood orange and cocoa powder.
Notes
Produced by smallholding members of the Gachatha Farmers’ Cooperative Society from trees of the SL28 and SL34 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the natural method (dried in the whole fruit). Imported by Wan Yu Coffee International Co.,Ltd. Ji Shan Cafe is a specialty coffee micro-roaster in Taipei. Email purchase-strong721@gmail.com for more information.
Bottom Line
A rare natural-processed Kenya — fruit-forward with an interplay of dark berry, citrus and savory herb notes, more rustic and fermentation-driven than a classic washed Kenya.
