Aroma: 9Acidity: 9Body: 8Flavor: 9Aftertaste: 8Roast (Agtron): Medium-Dark (44/56)
Origin: South-central Kenya.Notes: This coffee is certified Fair-Trade, meaning it was purchased from small-holding farmers at a "fair" or economically sustainable price. Despite national coffee leadership marred by confusion and apparent corruption, Kenya cooperatives continue to produce some of the world's most elegant and distinctive coffees. Green Mountain is one of the country's leading specialty roasters, offering a particularly wide-ranging variety of origins and roast styles. Blind Assessment: The aroma is very deep and sweet-toned with lush references to banana, coconut, dusk flowers. In the cup the acidity is extraordinarily rich and round-toned, the mouthfeel supple, the nuance opulent with coconut, red wine, chocolate and floral notes. Rich, long, flavor-saturated finish.Who should drink it: A coffee as extravagant as it is elegant.
