Blind Assessment

Delicate, crisp, sweet-savory. Black currant, maple syrup, candied orange zest, jasmine, sage in aroma and cup. Balanced, lightly juicy acidity; leanish but satiny mouthfeel. The resonant finish leans toward savory suggestions in the short (sage); fruit notes (black currant, candied orange zest) revive in the long.

Notes

Produced at Windrush Estate from trees of the SL-28 and SL-34 varieties of Arabica. Despite challenges ranging from unclear government coffee policy and urban encroachment on prime coffee lands to chronically unstable weather, the famed Kenya coffee auction system and its participating cooperatives continue to produce some of the world’s most elegant and distinctive coffee. Dragonfly Coffee is a Boulder, Colorado-based micro-roaster that produces high-quality coffees and supports worthy causes.

Bottom Line

A delicate but vivid Kenya cup; should particularly appeal to those who enjoy crisp, sweet-savory juxtapositions in food and beverages.
