    I really enjoyed this Kenyan. Kenyan to me often has a bit too much savoriness, but I think Blossom has done a good job here muting it. There's still just a little, maybe in the form of something like a celery undertone. But no tomato and soy sauce. Very balanced and fruity otherwise, with strawberry, lemongrass, and black tea, and brown sugar present.

    This coffee had a weaker flavor profile than I was expecting. There was a nice, high, clean initial flavor, but it did not round out after the initial taste. The flavor hinted of chocolate, faded quickly, and finished with a slight bitterness. I would recommend using extra beans if you prefer a fuller flavor.

More Details

Roast Level: Light
Light roast coffee is a delicately roasted coffee that retains more of the beans' natural flavors and characteristics. Light-roasted coffees have bright acidity, complex fruit, and floral notes. Light roast coffee does not have less caffeine than darker roasts because caffeine levels remain stable during roasting.
Bean Source Country: Kenya
Famed for its bold, bright acidity and fruity, wine-like flavors, Kenyan coffee often features blackcurrant, citrus, and tropical fruit notes. The high elevations, volcanic soil, and meticulous processing techniques contribute to the consistent, high-quality beans, with SL28 and SL34 among the most esteemed varieties.
Bean Source Region: Narok
Specialty coffee from Narok, nestled in Western Kenya, is a remarkable treasure with a distinctive character that often includes rich flavors of dark chocolate, delicate notes of ripe berries, and a lingering, velvety finish.
