    I liked this purple fruit driven Kenyan. Smooth and sweet, with the classic blackcurrant Ribena note that defines so many great coffees from the region. The blackcurrant is bright and dominant, and there's a hibiscus lift that ties in with the roaster's notes, giving the cup a slightly floral, tangy edge. It has brightness. A subtle black tea overtone adds structure. Medium complexity, but clean, sweet, and easy to drink for days.

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.
