    Update: made French Press cold brew here and it was excellent. Very smooth with a blueberry note coming out.

    ***

    Smooth, versatile, and borderline chuggable. I wouldn't say this has a single standout trait.

    Wonderful chocolate aroma with a little bit of sweetness.

    Balanced acidity.

    Slightly milk chocolate tailing into mid-palate strong black tea. It's very smooth but I'd take a little bit more brightness in the frutiness notes. That would have pushed it over the top.

    Actually pulled it as espresso and it had a massive crema and a bit of watermelon funk came out.

    Cupping Method:Grading as pourover, made with v60, 18:1 ratio, 197 degrees. I also made it at 205 degrees, and it was too hot.

    Actually enjoyed the espresso as as well.

Roast Level: Light Medium
A Light Medium Roast coffee, sometimes referred to as a "City Roast" or "American Roast," lies between a light and medium roast. This roast level strikes a balance by preserving the coffee bean's unique characteristics while allowing for a moderate development of body and flavor. The beans have a medium brown color, exhibiting a slight sheen of oils, providing a more balanced and nuanced flavor profile. A Light Medium Roast typically highlights the coffee's inherent fruity, floral, or citrus notes, while also providing some of the deeper, richer flavors associated with medium roasts.
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: Kiambu
Coffee from Kenya's Kiambu region is renowned for its rich volcanic soil, which contributes to a complex flavor profile marked by bright acidity, berry-like sweetness, and hints of savory spice. The region's high altitude and consistent climate further enhance the beans' distinctive flavors, making them a favorite among coffee connoisseurs worldwide.
