    I wrestled with this one a bit because my wife really liked it. She has been on a bit of a lower acidity kick so maybe that's the difference.

    I've had a lot of great Kenyan coffee this year. I'm usually excited to see the Kenyan blackberry / red current in roaster notes. I think this one is OK but not spectacular. The blackberry is there as well as a little bit of a muddled Mid palate that's a little herby/woody. It's missing a brighter note of acidity to balance that out. I don't get red fruit at all. I'm testing this out of an Advent calendar so I don't have any extra to dial it in.

    Cupping Method:18:1 v60, 92C. From Revolver Advent.

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: Kirinyaga
Kirinyaga is a renowned coffee-growing region in central Kenya, recognized for its exceptional coffee production. Coffee from Kirinyaga is characterized by its bright acidity, pronounced sweetness, and distinctively floral and fruity flavors. It often exhibits notes of blackcurrant, apricot, black tea, and a velvety body.
