    Very often plum and maple are notes that sounds appealing in coffee, but actually represented sort of unpleasant characteristics. A plum sweetness can sometimes be an out of balance acidity, maple a funky or woody sweetness. That's not the case here.

    The acidity here is a just right plum, when it's nicely balanced between sweet and tart. That's the highlight. I think it's more pluot that black plum, but hey!

    The maple is subtle but I do get it. The sweetness/mouthfeel is a little thin compared to the very best Kenyans I've had this year, but I did like this coffee overall.

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: Embu
