Could have been me but while I liked it I didnt as much as Ted.
What I thought was most notable for this Tiny Arms Kenyan is how full-bodied it was. That hasn't been the case for many Kenyans I've had, good as they may be. This one was super fruity, with hints of Ocean Spray cranberry cocktail, sweet grapefruit, and bright red berries. It's on a platform of strongly brewed black tea. Good when hot but extremely tasty once it's cooled off a bit.
I would say wouldnt have immediately gravitated to the black tea/sweet basil/honey description on the bag but this was pretty good coffee that works really well as drip. It's as described with nice natural sweetness and I do think it carries a little bit of florality. I'd probably prefer the more peachy/floral washed Ethiopians, but I did think this was an interesting and enjoyable cup.
