    Cherry cola, indeed! The more like cherry then cola for me. The cherry note is so ubiquitous in roaster description and often one I don't like. This is different, more like a bright rainier.

    The cola… Cola as a note in coffee for me refers to a distinct flavor profile that combines sweetness, acidity, and a hint of spice, reminiscent of the taste of Coke. This note can manifest as a tangy, effervescent sensation with subtle caramel, citrus, and spice undertones, evoking the flavor of classic cola. It's a lively and refreshing element that adds complexity to the coffee, often found in certain washed African coffees or in blends designed to highlight bright, sparkling characteristics. The cola note can contribute to a unique and memorable cup, balancing sweetness with acidity and providing a slight, fizzy-like aftertaste. I get a bit of that here.

    It's a clean slightly flat finish.

    Cupping Method:Worked best for me on Chemex. Did well on v60 as well. Also made OK espresso.

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: Kirinyaga
Kirinyaga is a renowned coffee-growing region in central Kenya, recognized for its exceptional coffee production. Coffee from Kirinyaga is characterized by its bright acidity, pronounced sweetness, and distinctively floral and fruity flavors. It often exhibits notes of blackcurrant, apricot, black tea, and a velvety body.
