Customers praised this washed Kenyan coffee for its juicy character and "strong blackcurrant flavors." The lighter roast showcases nice acidity and "crunchy red fruit plus earthy/savoury" notes. Some found it requires careful brewing with hot water and smaller grind to avoid over-extraction, with one noting flavors may need time to develop.

Tastes good

Tastes good, slower draw down, but didn't cause bitterness, might need another week or 2 for flavours to really pop

Textbook Kenya with added freshness

Title says it all; it’s exactly right for that crunchy red fruit plus earthy/savoury thing Kenya does so singularly. The lighter roast does seen to do best with good hot water and a smaller grind, balanced with fast paper to avoid over extraction, but it’s not as picky as that sounds.
