Blind Assessment: Subtle, deep, complex. Night-blooming flowers, red grape, coconut, roasted cocoa nibs, a hint of fir in aroma and cup. Very rich, round acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Flavor carries deep into a resonant finish.

Notes: Produced from trees of the admired, Bourbon-derived SL 28 and SL 34 varieties of Arabica as well as the hybrid Ruiru 11 variety. Despite grower discontent and urban encroachment on prime coffee lands, Kenya continues to produce some of the world's most elegant and distinctive coffees. Roasted at PT’s Coffee, where the motto is “without the love, it’s just coffee.” Visit www.ptscoffee.com or call 888-678-5282 for more information.

Who Should Drink It: Aficionados or anyone interested in a particularly deep, pungently lush variation on the classic Kenya cup.
