Kenya AA Ichamara lot 423

 This is the diamond in the rough that we were fortunate to come by.  When we cup sample lots of Kenyan coffees we look for a deep dimensional cup that finishes clean.   This particular lot balances nicely with the intense citrus acidity and a full body.  Aroma was lush & complex with hints of currant and leather. A dry berry nuance reminiscent of black currants, grapefruit & cassis linger nicely with every sip.

 

A note about Kenyan coffees, when roasted too dark, they can easily loose their subtle characteristics.  Our roast recommendation for this coffee is a medium roast (just between the first crack and before the second crack).
