Blind Assessment: Crisply tart, dry berry and pungent grapefruit dominate in aroma and cup, with rounding hints of nut-toned cocoa and caramel. Intense, brightly balanced acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Rich, dry, flavor-saturated finish.
Notes: Grown by the Kenyan Gaturiri Cooperative, this coffee consists entirely of coffee from trees of the much-admired Bourbon-derived hybrid variety SL 28. The West Bean is a San Diego-based roastery founded by two friends with a passion for coffee and a determination to bring their customers the highest quality hand-crafted coffee possible.

Who Should Drink It: Those who enjoy big, dry white table wines with complex aromatics. This is an aficionado’s Kenya, elegant but uncompromising in its intense acidity and crisp, pungent fruit.
