Blind Assessment

Cocoa-toned, sweetly herbaceous. Cocoa nib, nectarine, lemon verbena, agave syrup, cedar in aroma and cup. Balanced, juicy acidity; silky-smooth mouthfeel. Citrusy finish supported by cocoa nib and cedar.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers of the Kimaratia Farmers Cooperative Society, from trees of the SL28, SL34 and Ruiri 11 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp removed before drying). Utopian Coffee is a specialty roaster based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Visit www.utopiancoffee.com for more information. 

Bottom Line

This nuanced, harmonious Kenya leads with notes of cocoa nib and stone fruit, with ballast from sweet herb and rich aromatic wood.
