    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.

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.
