Blind Assessment: Sweet-toned, richly aromatic. Red currant, honey, narcissus, cedar, lavender in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart with bright, juicy acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The short finish consolidates to notes of red currant and honey, carrying far into the long.

Notes: Despite grower discontent, unclear government coffee policy and urban encroachment on prime coffee lands, the famed Kenya coffee auction system and its participating cooperatives continue to produce some of the world's most elegant and distinctive coffees. Buon Caffe is a specialty coffee roaster and cafe, in Taipei. Visit www.buoncaffe.com.tw for more information.  

The Bottom Line: A classic Kenya cup: deeply sweet, richly savory, balanced and juicy-bright with both sweet (narcissus) and spicy (lavender) floral impulses.
