This coffee is a light roast masterpiece. I'm fond of Nordic-style light roast coffee but it's hard to get in the US.
It's a combination of a high-quality beans and craft roasting excellence. Two characteristics described by the roaster - jasmine tea, and tangerine are in full force. I also pick up hints of cherry, and a chocolate/coffee undertone. This coffee is complex and evolves, but remains balanced throughout the palate. It has acidity without acid.
It has a clean and complex finish, with a little bit of the toffee lingering, like when you're thinking about stealing a touch more Skor bar off your kids' ice cream.Cupping Method:Chemex Pourover

Took my first sip and thought "wow, that's a winner!" The flavor changes throughout the sip and never disappoints. It is wonderfully light and delicious roast.Cupping Method:Hario V60 Pourover

This roast has an intriguingly complex flavor profile, hitting some high citrus notes and rounding out with hints of sweetness. I will be looking forward to my next cup! The finish is a bit dry, which I find appealing.Cupping Method:Vietnamese drip

This is actually by my favorite Kenyan that I've ever had, and completely unique for me. I think you could easily mistake this roast for a hibiscus limeade.
First off, no tomato!
Hibisicus is the game's name here, and that might not be for everyone. But as someone who personally loves hibiscus everything, this is perfection. This is really a coffee for those who appreciate acidity when it is balanced. There's also, especially when the cup has cooled, a touch of sweetness like a natural honey.
Stylistically, this is so unique it's definitely not for everyone but I think light roast specialty lovers will fall in love.Cupping Method:Hario v60

This Panama grown SL28 could easily be mistaken for an outstanding classic Kenyan. It opens with rich blackcurrant and a touch of Ribena sweetness, balanced by bright citrus acidity that is more a balance note than star id the show.
The midpalate turns deeply sweet, almost syrupy, with flavors of red plum and blood orange. It'a a honeyed sweetness. A gentle white flower note (honeysuckle? Jasmine?) drifts through midpalate and the finish.
As it cools, it reveals layers of cassis and a soft honey tone that tie everything together. It's very good. Can't really go wrong with Mirra. We were one of the first to hype them!Cupping Method:18:1, 92C on the v60. Got this coffee from Bean Archives. Both my wide and I like the the lighter brew approach which accentuated the subtleties.
