I would say sandalwood is the most prominent note in this coffee, which I'm not sure would normally be a good thing.
However, I do think overall this is not bad. It's all light enough so that nothing smashes the palate and the sandalwood makes it unique. The secondary note is red current and overall the balance is pretty nice. It has just the right amount of natural sweetness. It's definitely not your standard Kenyan, but seems to line up with the roaster's intent.Cupping Method:Pourover at Origen kiosk in an office park near Legoland. Pictures of menu and kiosk.
