Blind Assessment
Deep, resonant, opulent. Blackberry, kumquat, chocolate fudge, the lush scent of plumeria in aroma and cup. Big, juicy acidity; syrupy though buoyant mouthfeel. The blackberry and chocolate notes in particular lead into a very sweet, flavor-saturated finish.
Notes
Produced from trees of the admired heirloom SL28 and SL34 varieties of Arabica. Established in 2002 the Thiriku Farmers Cooperative (previously a part of the Tetu coop) is composed of roughly 2,300 members.
