This Kenyan roast offers delightful fruity notes, with red currant and blackberry being the most prominent.
Mid-palate, there's a hint of grapefruit, reminiscent of ruby red grapefruit sprinkled with a touch of brown sugar, which complements the coffee's natural sweetness. The tea background is subtle and doesn't overshadow the vibrant fruitiness. The finish is light and lemony, leaving a refreshing aftertaste.Cupping Method:Complex filter coffee at Revival Kitchen in Lexington, MA

Clean, smooth straightforward roast with classic Central American chocolate, caramel, and citrusy notes (exact roaster notes). I think the citrus is probably more the orange juice that's a bit overripe and needs a bit more acidic bite. Has a pleasant, full bodied mouthfeel with a slightly syrupy texture.
I think a lot of folks who like lower acidity would be fine with this as an every day drinker though I think it lacks a standout characteristic.Cupping Method:Played around on the v60 with different temps but got about the same. Drinks well at all temps.
