Blind Assessment

Vivid and impeccably structured. Notes of black currant, pink grapefruit zest, tomato vine, brown sugar, and cocoa nib in aroma and cup. Electric, wine-bright structure; satiny-smooth body. The finish is extended and resonant, carrying savory-sweet fruit and cocoa nib depth.

Notes

Produced by 80 smallholding members of the Rungeto Farmers Cooperative Society, from trees of the SL28, SL34, Batian, and Ruiru 11 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Utopian Coffee is a specialty roaster based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Visit www.utopiancoffee.com for more information.

Bottom Line

A textbook Kirinyaga County Kenya — incisive and expressive, with striking fruit intensity and a polished, balanced structure that rewards careful roasting.
