Blind Assessment

Balanced, richly sweet, spice-toned. Apricot, cocoa nib, lilac, coriander, amber in aroma and cup. Deep, sweet-savory structure with bright acidity; syrupy-smooth mouthfeel. The finish is both crisp and juicy, leading with notes of apricot and coriander in the short and rich, cocoa-toned florals in the long.

Notes

Produced by smallholding members of the Ndumberi Farmers Cooperative Society from trees of the SL28 and SL34 varieties of Arabica, and processed by the Kenya variation on the traditional washed method (fruit skin and flesh are removed from the beans before they are dried). Mostra Coffee is a women-, minority-, veteran-, and immigrant-owned micro-roaster based in north county San Diego. For more information, visit www.mostracoffee.com.

Bottom Line

A classic sweet-savory Kenya cup: balanced, deep, rich, and intriguingly spice-toned.
