Blind Assessment
Bright, juicy, sweetly herbaceous. Lemon verbena, tomato vine, pomegranate, cocoa nib, magnolia in aroma and cup. Sparkling acidity; satiny-smooth mouthfeel. Cocoa-toned, sweet-savory finish.
Notes
Produced by smallholding members of the Othaya Cooperative, from trees of the SL28, SL34 and Ruiru 11 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional Kenyan washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Slow Burn Coffee Roasters, based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, specializes in single-origin coffee and roasts in small batches. Visit www.slowburncoffee.com.
Bottom Line
Lovely, classic Kenya that balances sweet and savory notes with ease and confidence; the tomato vine note is what allows us to identify this cup’s origin blind.
