Blind Assessment
Juicy-bright, multi-layered. Red currant, salted caramel, blood orange, star jasmine, cedar in aroma and cup. Sweetly tart with richly vibrant, balanced acidity; very full, syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The complexity of the cup carries through in the long, juicy finish.
Notes
Produced by the Kariruki family, from trees of the SL28 and SL34 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the traditional washed method (fruit skin and pulp are removed before drying). JH Roaster is Janice Hsu’s specialty nano-roastery based in Taipei. Visit https://instagram.com/jan___hsu?igshid=MWI4MTIyMDE= for more information.
Bottom Line
A paradoxically bold and elegant Kenya cup — juicy and deep with umami underpinnings.
