Blind Assessment

Rich-toned, complex. Blackberry, dark chocolate, magrut lime leaf, fresh-cut cedar, narcissus in aroma and cup. Balanced, sweetly tart structure with juicy-bright acidity; plush, creamy mouthfeel. The long finish consolidates to blackberry and dark chocolate notes with hints of pink peppercorn.

Notes

Produced by smallholding farmers from trees of the SL28, SL34 and Ruiru 11 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). Cimarron Coffee Roasters is a micro-roaster on the Western Slope of Colorado that aims to offer sweet, clean, affordable and sustainable coffee. Roast profiles are developed for each coffee to highlight the inherently distinctive properties of each lot. Visit www.cimarronroasters.com for more information.  

Bottom Line

Dark berry and rich chocolate notes characterize this deeply aromatic, balanced cup. Attractive price for such a distinguished Kenya.
