Blind Assessment
Deeply rich, complex, nuanced. Dark chocolate, candied violet, tamarind, pink grapefruit zest, sorghum in aroma and cup. Crisply bright with high-toned, sparkling acidity; very full, syrupy mouthfeel. Notes of candied violet and tamarind carry the long, resonant finish.
Notes
Produced by smallholding farmers of the Murarandia Cooperative Society, from trees of the SL28, SL34 and Ruiru 11 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Bear Lake Coffee Co., a B Corp-certified coffeehouse and roastery located in Barronett, Wisconsin, is committed to sustainability through its Coffee with a Purpose™ initiative, which ensures that farmers receive compensation well above the Fairtrade Premium for their exceptional small-batch coffee.

Bottom Line
A Kenya with a big personality that offers layers of chocolate, florality, citrusy-sweetness and tangy vibrancy all bundled up in an elegant structure that both invites and intrigues.
