    I like this coffee, notably, more than another Kenyan I had today from a top roaster. Smooth with a pleasant mouthfeel. Lead note of strongly brewed black tea, then a very interesting blueberry/rose hip note. I'll take more brightness there but very well balanced. Mostly clean finish with a touch of hoppiness. Overall, I'm looking for a bit more more brightness and complexity but it's a very good cup.

    Cupping Method:I got this in a coffee swap.

    Made 18:1, 197F in v60

    It's almost 6 weeks out from the roast date but can't say I see that it would have been a 5-star for me even with optimal timing.

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.
Bean Source Region: Kiambu
Coffee from Kenya's Kiambu region is renowned for its rich volcanic soil, which contributes to a complex flavor profile marked by bright acidity, berry-like sweetness, and hints of savory spice. The region's high altitude and consistent climate further enhance the beans' distinctive flavors, making them a favorite among coffee connoisseurs worldwide.
