Smooth and easy to drink but not super interesting.
I like this coffee a lot and was glad I picked it, as sometimes I avoid Kenyans. This was the lightest roast available from La Deseada, a coffee shop where'd I'd just pulled an incredible shot of Myanmar espresso from Osorio. I think Osorio has done great work with this Kenyan. If there's any savoriness, it's limited to maybe just a touch of celery. Otherwise, it's black tea, blood orange for days, bright strawberry/raspberry, and very easy to drink. A hint of natural sweetness in the brown sugar spectrum, plus a good mouthfeel ad very clean finish. Practically chugged the cup I made this morning.
One of the best espressos I've had this year. A trip to Myanmar and back in a single sip. Very smooth with a lot of natural sweetness and insane complexity. Starts right off with a burst of red fruit, then a really deep and complex sweetness with some molasses character in addition to the usual espresso taste notes. A very nice crema and overall mouthfeel. This espresso has an acidity profile comparable to great wines with softened tannins. Huge props to Osorio for even attempting a single-origin Myanmar espresso - it's my first one and all I have to say is wow!
