    Update - recupped about 3 weeks later and got much bright acidity, especially some really nice cranberry notes, and bumped this from a 4.0 to a 4.5.

    Leaderboard Season 14, blind tasting.

    Aroma is very nice - sweet, chocolatey but also honey.

    Hot - a bit herbal and Chinese medicine-ish. Not in a terrible, terrible way.

    As it cools, I taste strawberries and dates. It has a very glycerine mouthfeel. It didn't hit traditional Kenyan notes for me, but I enjoyed it overall. It didn't quite hit that bright Kenyan acidity I like, nor the complexity.

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.
