Blind Assessment: Co-cupper Christy Thorns reduced her score to 89 for this Kenya because she felt its chocolate and spice inclinations were not characteristic of the origin. Ken started at 88 and stayed there. He had no problem admiring the chocolate-inclining sweet citrus character he read in aroma and cup, but felt that ultimately the cup was a bit too simple for a top rating.

Who Should Drink It: Those who don't care how a Kenya is supposed to taste, but simply enjoy a gentle, complexly chocolate-toned cup.
