Blind Assessment

Vibrant, sweet-savory, floral-toned. Cocoa nib, red currant, myrrh, honeysuckle, hop flowers in aroma and cup. Sweetly savory structure with juicy acidity; crisp, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The resonant finish centers on red currant and hop flowers in the short, cocoa nib and myrrh in the long.

Notes

Despite grower discontent, unclear government coffee policy and urban encroachment on prime coffee lands, the famed Kenya coffee auction system and its participating cooperatives continue to produce some of the world's most elegant and distinctive coffees. Founded in 1994, Coffee By Design is a specialty coffee roaster in Portland, Maine that also operates three coffee shops in town. Visit www.coffeebydesign.com.

Bottom Line

A rich-toned Kenya cup driven by classic red currant notes, both richly sweet and deeply savory.
